TVET college management system and website in Kenya
By Kelvin Wanyoike · · 2 min read
Kenya’s TVET colleges have grown fast, and so has the paperwork: admissions, fees, CBET units and assessments, timetables, attachments and reports to TVETA and KNEC/CDACC. A TVET college management system and a modern website make that work faster and more transparent.
We built the website for Gatanga Technical and Vocational College and created CBET Planner for TVET trainers, so we know the sector from the inside.
What a TVET system covers
- Online applications and admissions: applicants apply from their phones, upload documents and get admission letters.
- Fees by M-Pesa: students pay with their admission number; balances, receipts and fee statements update automatically.
- Student portal: units, timetables, results, fee balance, notices and downloads.
- CBET records: units of competency, formative and summative assessments, portfolios of evidence and progress per trainee.
- Trainer tools: session plans, learning plans and records (CBET Planner drafts them from the curriculum).
- Timetables and classes.
- Industrial attachment placements and supervisor reports.
- Reports for management, the board and regulators.
The college website matters too
Parents and applicants judge a college by its website: courses with entry requirements, fees, intake dates, an online application, news and contacts. A fast, mobile-friendly site raises enrolment. See school management systems in Kenya for primary and secondary schools.
