The Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) has warned students and parents against scammers and misinformation ahead of the March intake. Admission letters for pre-service and in-service applicants were released on March 10 through the official KMTC admissions portal, with no fees required. The college stressed that all official communications will come through authorised channels.
The Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) issued a notice on Tuesday, March 24, urging students and parents to stay vigilant against scammers exploiting the March intake period. The college advised checking its official social media pages on Facebook, X, TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, and LinkedIn for accurate updates. “For parents and guardians, the College provides a system rooted in accountability, professionalism, and student welfare, ensuring students are in a safe and supportive learning environment,” KMTC stated. It added, “However, constant vigilance remains essential because this period often attracts scammers who exploit misinformation and urgency. KMTC emphasises that all admissions and official procedures are handled exclusively through authorized channels.” Founded in 1927, KMTC is Kenya's largest institution for training healthcare professionals under the Ministry of Health. It operates 92 campuses and five satellite campuses nationwide, making it a prime target for fraudsters. CEO Kelly Oluoch assured that the admission process is fully transparent, with no payments needed for placement or services. “At KMTC, we are shaping the future of healthcare by equipping our graduates with the skills, values, and professionalism needed to serve with excellence both locally and globally,” Oluoch said. The process involves document verification, fee payment, and registration. Admission letters were released on March 10 solely through the official portal, and “applicants are strongly cautioned to beware of fraudsters who may take advantage of this situation by claiming they can help you access or secure admission letters for a fee,” KMTC noted.
