The Diploma in Health Insurance Management is a KMTC programme that trains professionals in health insurance operations, medical billing, and claims administration. The course covers health insurance policy and practice, medical billing and claims administration, healthcare financing management, health facility operations, and regulatory compliance across three years of study. Students develop competencies in insurance claims processing, medical billing, health policy analysis, healthcare financing, customer service, and health records management. The programme addresses the skills gap created by Kenya's health insurance reforms including the Social Health Authority (SHA) and universal health coverage initiatives. Kenya's evolving health insurance landscape, including NHIF transition to SHA, private health insurance growth, and universal health coverage implementation, has created strong demand for qualified health insurance management professionals. Hospitals, insurance companies, Third-Party Administrators, and government health agencies recruit diploma holders. The programme combines classroom theory with practical exercises in claims processing, medical billing, and insurance administration. Students use health information systems, process insurance claims, and analyse health financing data. Clinical attachments in hospitals and insurance companies provide hands-on experience. Graduates work as health insurance officers, claims processors, medical billing officers, and customer service representatives in hospitals, insurance companies, Third-Party Administrators, and government health departments. The qualification is highly marketable given Kenya's expanding health insurance sector. This programme is suitable for KCSE graduates with a mean grade of C (plain) who are interested in healthcare administration and insurance management careers.

This Level 5 competency-based programme prepares students to support the day-to-day people-management and record-keeping that keeps organisations running. It trains HR clerks and assistants who maintain personnel records, help with recruitment, support payroll, and ensure staff files and statutory requirements are in order. Students learn to maintain HR records and files, support recruitment and onboarding, assist with payroll and benefits, apply basic employment-law requirements, support training and leave administration, handle staff welfare issues, and use HR systems and spreadsheets. They also develop communication, numeracy, digital-literacy, and ethics skills central to reliable, confidential HR support. These skills matter because every employer must keep accurate staff records, pay staff correctly, and meet legal obligations such as contracts, NSSF, NHIF/SHIF, and PAYE. Graduates help organisations stay organised and compliant, reduce payroll errors and disputes, and free up managers to focus on their core work. Their support underpins decent work and smooth operations in businesses, SACCOs, NGOs, and county offices. The programme blends classroom teaching, HR-software and spreadsheet labs, case studies, role-plays, and a supervised industrial attachment with an HR department or office. Assessment is competency-based, with learners judged on demonstrating real HR-support skills. Graduates pursue careers as HR clerks, personnel records clerks, payroll clerks, and HR assistants in businesses, SACCOs, NGOs, and county governments, with progression to higher HR qualifications. The programme is ideal for organised, reliable, people-oriented students who want a fast, practical route into office-based human-resource support roles.
