Government has ordered closure of all KIM branches in Kenya. The order came today from The Technical and Vocational Education and Training Authority (TVETA)
In a notice dated April 20 2026 issued under the TVET Act (Cap 210A), the regulator accused the institution of operating beyond its approved mandate and awarding unrecognized qualifications.
“It has come to the attention of the Authority that the Kenya Institute of Management (KIM) is offering and awarding various academic and professional programmes to members of the public without accreditation. KIM was accredited to offer programmes assessed and certified by TVET-CDACC,” the statement read.
KIM is one of the leading colleges for training leadership courses in Kenya.
