Choose with more than a cluster point.
Placement asks seventeen year olds to rank courses they have never seen, toward careers nobody has described to them honestly. This is the reference that decision should have had.
Three decisions, not one.
People talk about choosing a course as a single moment at eighteen. It is really three, spread over five years, and the later two are the ones nobody helps with.
KCSE done, or nearly. A cluster point and a long list of forms.
Placement asks you to rank courses you have never seen taught, at institutions you have never visited, toward careers nobody has described to you honestly. The catalogue is the missing half of that decision: what each course actually contains, what it costs at each institution, and which careers it opens once you finish.
Already enrolled, and starting to wonder where it leads.
The specialisation you choose in third year usually matters more than the degree title, and it is the decision nobody helps with. Read what each route leads to, which electives the market actually rewards, and where your field sits on the exposure scale before you commit.
Applications out, nothing back, and no read on why.
Usually the gap is small and specific: a tool, a certification, a way of describing what you already did. The roadmap names it and dates it, and the résumé builder makes sure the page survives the software that reads it before a person does.
The field is the wrong unit.
Everybody is told to pick a sector. Medicine is safe, arts are not, technology is the future. The catalogue does not support any of that. Sector averages sit 56 points apart end to end, while the ratings inside a single sector span 27 at their narrowest. The choice that matters is the course and the career, not the family they belong to.

What you actually get.
All of the following is on the free tier. The paid tiers raise limits, they do not unlock the reference.
The whole catalogue, free
Every course, university, college and career, with fees, entry marks, intake months and graduate outcomes. No account, no card, no trial that expires.
An honest read on your field
Exposure ratings with both task lists published, so you can see what a machine already does in the work you are training for, and what it cannot.
A profile that took five minutes
Eight dimensions from a short guided conversation. Not a personality test, and not a horoscope: a record the coach and the roadmap both read so you never restate your situation.
A plan with dates on it
One free roadmap toward a target you choose, with the steps ordered and the courses priced from the catalogue, so you know what it costs and when the intake is.
A résumé that gets read
Two free templates, both single column, both parseable. The version employers screen with software will not quietly drop half your experience.
| Programme | Fee, KES | Exposure |
|---|---|---|
| BSc NursingHealth | 182,000 | 18 |
| BSc Software EngineeringTechnology | 204,000 | 44 |
| Diploma in AccountingBusiness | 96,000 | 71 |
| BSc AgribusinessAgriculture | 148,000 | 26 |
Built around strengths, not scores.
A cluster point measures how you performed in one exam season. It is a real constraint on where you can apply, and a poor description of what you are good at.
Is a diploma in analytics worth it if I already have a BCom?
A BCom already clears the entry bar for data engineering, so a diploma is not a requirement. Your roadmap skips it and goes straight to certification and hands-on pipelines.
If you want the credential for credibility it is fine, but it costs time and money that could go toward the AWS Certified Machine Learning, Specialty at KES 25,000, which employers here actually screen for.
Read one course record the whole way down.
Fees, entry marks, modules, specialisations and the careers it leads to, with an exposure rating on each. It takes about four minutes and it is the fastest way to see whether any of this is useful to you.
