Bartmore Technical College (BTC)

Bartmore Technical College is a private TVET institution located in Nakuru, Kenya, along the Nakuru-Elmentaita Road, with a Nairobi campus at KTDA Farmers Building on Moi Avenue. Founded in 2021, the college specialises in Competence-Based Education and Training (CBET) curricula accredited by TVET CDACC.

The college offers diploma (Level 6) and certificate (Level 5) courses across healthcare, business, and technical disciplines. Its programmes include Healthcare Support Services, Caregiving, and other CBET-validated courses, with facilities designed for practical, project-based learning.

As a TVET-CDACC accredited institution, the college employs a unique case-based and problem-based learning approach that distinguishes it from traditional TVET providers, producing graduates equipped with real-world competencies for the Kenyan labour market.

Bartmore Technical College conducts applied technical research and skills innovation aligned with the TVET CDACC Competency-Based Education and Training (CBET) framework and Nakuru County development priorities. The institution hosts annual technical trade exhibitions and participates in regional KATTI research fairs, showcasing student and faculty innovations in renewable energy (solar and biogas installations), metal fabrication, agricultural mechanization, electrical building services, and ICT business solutions. Applied research projects collaborate with local informal sector artisans (Jua Kali), county vocational directorates, and community micro-enterprises to deliver practical engineering prototypes and community-level economic solutions.

Bartmore Technical College requires a minimum KCSE mean grade of D (Plain) for certificate and diploma programmes. Healthcare Support Services is a competitive programme with additional KHPOA recognition. The college accepts both KUCCPS-placed and self-sponsored students. Applicants with D- (Minus) may enrol for Level 4 certificate courses as an alternative pathway.
