The Technical and Vocational Education and Training Authority (TVETA) has revoked the accreditation of the Kenya Institute of Management (KIM) and ordered the immediate closure of all its campuses across Kenya.
In a public notice dated April 20, 2026, the regulator said KIM had been offering and awarding academic and professional programmes without proper accreditation. TVETA noted that the institution continued to run unapproved courses and engaged trainers without valid licences, in violation of the TVET Act.
The authority further declared that KIM does not have the legal mandate to award qualifications. Consequently, any certificates, diplomas, or other qualifications issued by the institution beyond 2018 will not be recognised for employment, further education, or professional advancement.
TVETA stated that the decision was made under provisions of the law, leading to the revocation of KIM’s accreditation and the closure of all its campuses with immediate effect.
Members of the public have been urged to exercise caution and verify the accreditation status of institutions before enrolling in any programme. The authority reaffirmed its commitment to safeguarding the integrity and quality of training in the country.
