Graduates work as water engineering technicians, water treatment plant assistants, water quality technicians, wastewater treatment assistants, and water infrastructure maintenance assistants in water service providers, county water departments, engineering consultancies, and sanitation projects. The qualification provides a foundation for progression to Diploma in Water Engineering for specialised water engineering and management roles. This programme is suitable for KCSE graduates with a mean grade of D (plain) who are interested in water systems and engineering and seeking technical positions in the water supply and sanitation engineering sector.

The Certificate in Water Technology is a KNEC Craft Certificate programme that trains students in water treatment, distribution, and quality management skills. The course is examined by KNEC and offered across accredited TVET institutions in Kenya. Students learn water treatment processes, water distribution, water testing, pump systems, water quality, and water supply systems. The curriculum covers communication skills, mathematics, science, technical drawing, information communication technology, entrepreneurship, and occupational safety. Core units include introduction to water technology, water technology principles, water treatment, water distribution, water testing, water supply systems, pump systems, water quality, water regulations, and industrial attachment in a water treatment plant or water utility company. Kenya's water sector expansion, including new treatment plants, distribution networks, and rural water supply projects, creates demand for certified water technology personnel. Water service providers, water treatment companies, county water departments, and engineering firms require trained technicians for treatment operations and distribution management. Training combines classroom theory with practical sessions in laboratory and plant environments. Students practice water testing, treatment processes, pump operation, and distribution management under supervised conditions. The programme includes industrial attachment in water treatment plants or water utilities where students apply their skills in real water technology environments. Graduates work as water treatment plant assistants, water quality technicians, pump station operators, water distribution assistants, and water supply technicians in water service providers, water treatment companies, county water departments, and engineering firms. The qualification provides a foundation for progression to Diploma in Water Engineering for specialised water technology and engineering roles. This programme is suitable for KCSE graduates with a mean grade of D (plain) who are interested in water treatment and supply and seeking technical positions in the water technology and water services sector.

The Certificate in Welding and Fabrication is a two-year Craft Certificate programme examined by the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) and offered at technical and vocational training institutions across Kenya. It equips students with fundamental skills in arc welding, gas welding, metal fabrication, and workshop practice. The programme is accredited by the Technical and Vocational Education and Training Authority (TVETA) under the TVET Act, 2013. Year 1 covers entrepreneurship, information communication technology, mathematics, mechanical science, technical drawing, electrical principles, material technology and metallurgy, and fabrication and welding technology. Students learn the foundational principles of metal properties, welding processes, and safe workshop practices. Year 2 advances to communication skills, life skills, mathematics II, technical drawing II, mechanical science II, business plan, workshop organisation and management, fabrication and welding technology II, and a trade project. The programme combines theory with extensive practical training in workshops. Students learn to perform various welding processes including arc welding, gas welding, MIG and TIG welding, and to fabricate metal structures from engineering drawings. Safety practices and quality control are emphasised throughout the training. Entry requirements are a KCSE mean grade of D (plain) or a pass in a relevant Artisan Certificate. The programme is available at national polytechnics, technical training institutes, and vocational training centres across Kenya. Graduates pursue careers as welders, fabricators, pipe fitters, and metal workshop assistants in construction companies, manufacturing firms, oil and gas companies, and metal fabrication workshops. The programme provides a progression pathway to a Diploma in Welding and Fabrication and subsequently to higher qualifications in mechanical engineering. The programme includes a compulsory industrial attachment that provides students with practical workplace experience. Government-sponsored students placed through KUCCPS receive capitation funding, and HELB loans are available for eligible students. The standardised annual tuition fee at public TVET institutions is KES 67,189.

The Craft Certificate in Mechanical Engineering (Automotive Option) is a KNEC-examined programme that trains individuals in automotive engineering principles, vehicle maintenance, and engine technology. The programme is accredited by the Technical and Vocational Education and Training Authority (TVETA) and examined by the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC). Trainees develop competencies in vehicle technology, engine systems, electrical and electronic systems, workshop technology, technical drawing, and automotive maintenance. The curriculum combines theoretical instruction with extensive practical workshop sessions using real vehicle components and engines. Kenya's automotive sector continues to grow with increasing vehicle numbers creating sustained demand for skilled automotive engineering personnel. The programme aligns with the National Occupational Standards and supports the government's industrialisation agenda. The course is delivered through modular training with two modules covering theory and practical workshop sessions. Trainees spend approximately 60 per cent of their time in practical workshops and 40 per cent in theory classes. Industrial attachment is a compulsory component. Graduates can work as automotive technicians, service technicians, fleet maintenance assistants, or workshop supervisors in garages, service centres, and transport companies. The programme provides a foundation for progression to Diploma in Automotive Engineering. This programme is suitable for individuals with a KCSE mean grade of D (plain) who have an interest in automotive engineering. It provides technical skills for employment in Kenya's automotive sector.
