The Certificate in Electrical & Electronics Engineering is a practical technical programme designed to equip learners with the knowledge, skills and competencies required to work with electrical power systems, electronic equipment, electrical installations and related technical systems.
The programme combines theoretical instruction with practical workshop training, enabling learners to understand electrical and electronic principles and apply them in real-world technical environments.
Training covers areas such as electrical circuits, electrical machines, wiring and installation, electrical measurements, electronics, power systems, control systems, maintenance, fault diagnosis and occupational safety.
The qualification provides a strong foundation for employment in the electrical and electronics industry and for progression to higher-level technical training.
The current TVETA course directory recognizes Electrical and Electronics Technology at Craft level under KNEC. KNEC examination records identify the corresponding qualification as Craft Certificate in Electrical & Electronics Engineering, including Power and Telecommunication options.
2 Years
The KNEC programme is delivered through a modular structure, with the qualification divided into Module I and Module II. KNEC examination records confirm separate examinations for the two modules.
Qualification: Craft Certificate in Electrical & Electronics Engineering
Level: Craft
Examination Body: Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC)
The programme may be offered through different options, including:
KNEC’s published examination records specifically list both the Power and Telecommunication options under the Craft Certificate in Electrical & Electronics Engineering.
Graduates can pursue employment opportunities in the electrical, electronics, energy, construction, manufacturing and telecommunications sectors.
Potential career opportunities include:
Graduates may find opportunities with electrical contractors, manufacturing companies, power and energy companies, telecommunications companies, construction firms, industrial plants, maintenance companies, institutions and other organizations that operate electrical and electronic systems.
The Craft-level certificate pathway is intended for learners seeking practical technical training in electrical and electronics technology.
The commonly published KNEC pathway requirement is KCSE mean grade D (Plain), with relevant performance in Mathematics and a science subject. KNEC’s career guidance material specifies D (Plain) in Mathematics and a science subject for the certificate pathway.
Admission at Embu College should, however, follow the current entry requirements attached to the institution’s approved programme.
Learners develop competencies in areas including:
The specific subjects and specialization depend on whether the learner follows the Power or Telecommunication option.
The programme places significant emphasis on practical skills development. Learners undertake supervised workshop exercises involving electrical circuits, wiring, measurements, machines, electronic components, equipment maintenance, testing and fault diagnosis.
Practical training enables students to develop competence in using electrical and electronic tools and test equipment while following appropriate workplace safety procedures.
The programme is examined by the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC).
KNEC’s technical examination records list:
TVETA’s current database lists the corresponding Craft programmes under Electrical and Electronics Technology, including Power and Telecommunication.
Successful graduates can progress to higher-level training in electrical and electronics engineering.
A typical progression pathway is:
Craft Certificate → Diploma → Higher technical/professional qualifications
At Diploma level, TVETA currently lists Electrical and Electronics Engineering (Power), Electrical and Electronics Engineering (Telecommunication) and Electrical and Electronics Engineering (Instrumentation) under KNEC.
