    KNEC CIRCULAR ON PHASED OUT/ EXPIRED BUSINESS AND TECHNICAL COURSES

    1.0   The  Kenya  National   Examinations   Council   wishes  to  inform   all   heads  of  TVET institutions,  TVET  County  Directors,  and  Sub  County  Directors  of  Education  offering Business and Technical  Examinations that, TVET curricula and syllabi  have been  under review  by  the  Kenya  Institute  of Curriculum  (KICD)  since  2009.  In  the  review,  non- modular courses have gradually been replaced by modular TVET courses.

    2.0   The  lists  of  phased-out  Business  and  Technical  courses,  and  the  courses  that  replaced
    them, are contained  in Appendices  I, 2 and 3 respectively.

    3.0   Institutions  were  expected  to migrate  to the  new  modular  courses  within  five years of the expiry  of the old courses.  KNEC  has  been  offering  candidates  with  referrals  in  the phased-out  courses  opportunities  to register and  sit the affected  papers. However,  some institutions  have often  used  this as a loophole to register fresh candidates  in the expired courses.

    4.0   KNEC   wishes   to   notify   the   institutions   still   offering   the   expired   courses   that examinations  for the  phased-out  courses  will  be offered  for the last  time  in  November 2025  as  shown   in  Appendix  1  and  Appendix  2.  There will be  no  registration  of candidates for these courses after November 2025.
    8.0   Phased-out  Modular  courses  will  be  discontinued  progressively   between  November 2025  and  November  2027  as shown  in  Appendix  3.   There will be no registration  of candidates for these Modular courses after November 2027.

    Technical Courses That Have Been Phased Out and will no longer be offered after November 2025:
