The Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) has announced the 2024 examiner training dates for the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examination.
The training will start from August 18 to August 24, 2024.
Shortlisted applicants will be required to pay a training fee of Ksh 10,500 (ten thousand five hundred shillings).
Shortlisted applicants will be informed by KNEC via text message (SMS) and the portal about the method of payment.
The location of the training will be communicated to qualified applicants at a later date and the training will be exclusively residential.
KNEC will then engage such examiners using the criteria for recruiting examiners based on staffing needs for each job.
Teachers who are already trained as KCSE examiners and are on the KNEC examiner database do not need to apply.
Applications are therefore invited from interested and qualified teachers as follows:
