The Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) has established 63 support centers nationwide to aid students applying for degree programs, Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), and Teacher Training Colleges (TTC).

“We encourage all eligible students to visit their nearest support center for guidance on the application process. Our staff will be available to help with course selection and placement inquiries,” Wahome stated.

The support centers are located throughout the 47 counties and are situated in selected universities, technical and vocational colleges, and national polytechnics. Additionally, students can receive application support at all 58 Huduma Centres across the country, as well as at the KUCCPS headquarters at ACK Garden House on Ngong 1st Avenue in Nairobi.
