What you'll study
The same operating-theatre ground as our diploma, in a shorter certificate: preparing the theatre, running it, and supporting the surgical team through a procedure.
Three trimesters of four months each — one year of study — with practicals and attachment built into the fee structure. Want the Level 6 route? See the diploma.

Fees
KES 48,500per trimester — the standard fee from trimester 2
First trimester KES 64,700. 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. From trimester 2 the bill settles down. The final trimester is KES 53,500 because it carries the graduation fee.
All figures are indicative — 2026 approved structure; confirm with the Finance Office.
