The Craft in Electrical and Electronics Engineering (Power Option) is a KNEC-examined programme that equips trainees with skills in electrical installation, power systems, and electronic equipment maintenance. 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 electrical principles, electronics, electrical installation technology, solar installation systems, electrical maintenance, fault diagnosis, and industrial machines and controls. The curriculum is delivered in two modules combining theoretical instruction with extensive practical workshop training. Kenya's energy sector is expanding with rural electrification, renewable energy projects, and industrial growth creating sustained demand for skilled electrical personnel. The programme aligns with the National Occupational Standards and supports the government's energy access expansion agenda. The course is delivered through modular training with two modules. Trainees spend approximately 60 per cent of their time in practical workshops working with electrical installations, solar systems, and industrial machines, and 40 per cent in theory classes. Industrial attachment is a compulsory component. Graduates can work as electrical technicians, installation technicians, maintenance assistants, or solar installation technicians in electrical contracting firms, power companies, and manufacturing industries. The programme provides a foundation for progression to Diploma in Electrical Engineering. This programme is suitable for individuals with a KCSE mean grade of D (plain) who have an interest in electrical engineering. It provides technical skills for employment in Kenya's electrical and energy sector.

The Diploma in Electrical and Electronics is a TVET CDACC Level 6 qualification that trains students in the installation, maintenance, and repair of electrical power systems and electronic equipment. It is one of the most widely offered diploma programmes in Kenya, available at over 180 TVET institutions nationwide. The curriculum covers electrical installation technology, electrical engineering principles, analogue and digital electronics, electrical measurements and fault diagnosis, solar installation systems, and programmable logic controllers. Students progress through three modules, building from foundational physical science and engineering mathematics to advanced power electronics, microcontroller technology, and electrical power transmission and distribution. The programme is examined by KNEC under course code 2601 and accredited by TVET CDACC under qualification code 071306T4. Graduates earn the title of Electrical Technician Level 6, qualifying them for roles in power generation, transmission, building services, manufacturing, and telecommunications. Training combines classroom theory with extensive workshop practicals, laboratory sessions, and industrial attachment. Students work with real electrical installations, motor control systems, solar PV systems, and PLC programming equipment, ensuring hands-on competency aligned with industry needs. Graduates find employment as electrical technicians, maintenance technicians, power systems technicians, installation supervisors, and solar energy technicians. Major employers include Kenya Power, KenGen, EPRA-licensed contractors, manufacturing firms, construction companies, and telecommunications operators. Many graduates also establish electrical contracting businesses. The programme suits KCSE graduates with a mean grade of C- who have strengths in Mathematics and Physics, as well as craft certificate holders seeking to upgrade to diploma level. It provides a direct progression pathway to degree programmes in Electrical and Electronic Engineering.

<p>The Master of Geothermal Technology is a specialised postgraduate programme that equips professionals with advanced knowledge and skills in geothermal energy exploration, development, and utilisation. The programme prepares graduates to contribute to Kenya's geothermal energy sector, which is the largest in Africa, through expertise in exploration, reservoir engineering, drilling, and power plant management. Core areas of study include geothermal geology, geothermal geophysics, geothermal geochemistry, geothermal reservoir engineering, drilling engineering, geothermal power plant technology, steam field management, geothermal energy policy, environmental aspects of geothermal development, research methods, and thesis writing. Students engage with all aspects of geothermal technology from exploration through development to power station operations. The programme is offered by the University of Nairobi, Kenyatta University, and Moi University, with Dedan Kimathi University of Technology listed as a college. DeKUT hosts the Geothermal Energy Training and Research Institute (GeTRI), which provides organised academic training in geothermal energy technology within the context of growing geothermal energy use in the African region. Students develop competencies in geothermal exploration, geological and geophysical methods, geochemical analysis, reservoir modelling, drilling technology, power plant operations, steam field management, environmental assessment, energy policy, and research methodology. The programme includes coursework, examinations, practical training, and a research thesis, covering the full geothermal development cycle. The programme is delivered over two years with full-time and part-time modes available. DeKUT offers the programme at its Nairobi Campus with part-time and weekend modes. The programme is designed for engineers, geoscientists, and energy professionals seeking geothermal technology expertise. AfDB-funded scholarships are available through the Ministry of Education for staff in public universities and technical institutions. Graduates pursue careers as geothermal engineers, reservoir engineers, drilling engineers, geothermal geologists, geophysicists, energy consultants, and power plant managers at Kenya Electricity Generating Company (KenGen), Geothermal Development Company (GDC), independent power producers, and international geothermal companies.</p><h3>Skills Required</h3><ul><li>Geothermal Exploration Techniques</li><li>Geothermal Reservoir Engineering</li><li>Drilling Engineering for Geothermal Wells</li><li>Geothermal Power Plant Operations</li><li>Geothermal Geology and Geochemistry</li><li>Geophysical Methods for Geothermal Exploration</li><li>Steam Field Management</li><li>Geothermal Energy Policy and Regulation</li><li>Environmental Impact Assessment for Geothermal Projects</li><li>Research Methods in Geothermal Technology</li></ul><h3>Key Subjects</h3><ul><li>Geothermal Geology</li><li>Geothermal Geophysics</li><li>Geothermal Geochemistry</li><li>Geothermal Reservoir Engineering</li><li>Drilling Engineering</li><li>Geothermal Power Plant Technology</li><li>Steam Field Management</li><li>Environmental Aspects of Geothermal Development</li><li>Research Methods in Geothermal Technology</li><li>Geothermal Energy Policy</li></ul><h3>Certifications</h3><ul><li>IGA Professional Membership</li><li>EPRA Energy Professional Certification</li></ul><h3>Specializations</h3><h4>Geothermal Exploration</h4><p>Focuses on geothermal exploration methods including geological mapping, geophysical surveys, geochemical sampling, and identifying potential geothermal resources.</p><h4>Geothermal Reservoir Engineering</h4><p>Examines geothermal reservoir characterisation, reservoir modelling, reservoir simulation, production forecasting, and managing geothermal reservoir performance.</p><h4>Drilling Engineering</h4><p>Covers geothermal drilling technology, well design, drilling operations, well completion, and managing geothermal drilling programmes.</p><h4>Geothermal Power Plant Technology</h4><p>Focuses on geothermal power plant design, steam turbine operations, binary cycle plants, power plant maintenance, and geothermal power generation systems.</p><h4>Steam Field Management</h4><p>Examines steam field operations, steam gathering systems, pipeline management, steam field maintenance, and optimising steam delivery to power plants.</p><h4>Geothermal Geology</h4><p>Covers geological aspects of geothermal systems, volcanic geology, structural geology for geothermal, hydrothermal alteration, and geothermal field geology.</p><h4>Geothermal Geophysics</h4><p>Focuses on geophysical methods for geothermal exploration including resistivity surveys, magnetics, gravity, seismic methods, and geophysical data interpretation.</p><h4>Geothermal Geochemistry</h4><p>Examines geochemical methods for geothermal exploration, fluid chemistry, geothermometry, gas geochemistry, and using geochemistry to characterise geothermal systems.</p>
