What you'll study
Care giving is hands-on work: supporting people who need daily help — the sick, the elderly, the recovering — with dignity and basic clinical safety.
Two trimesters of four months each. It is our shortest health programme and our lowest total, with practicals and attachment inside the fee structure.

Fees
KES 38,500per trimester — the standard fee, trimester 2
First trimester KES 50,200. It is higher because registration, caution money (refundable), uniform and lab coat, the medical examination on admission and the Hepatitis B vaccine are all charged once, at the start. The second trimester drops to the standard figure even though it also carries the graduation, attachment and log book fees.
All figures are indicative — 2026 approved structure; confirm with the Finance Office.
What you pay, and when
| Trimester | What it covers | Amount |

Meals and accommodation are extra and optional. Meals for day scholars are KES 7,500 per trimester; boarding is KES 22,500 per trimester. Neither is included in the fees above.
