Since 1961

The same institution. A stronger mandate.

KIMC began as the Voice of Kenya Training School and has trained Kenya's broadcasters, journalists, and communicators for over six decades. The Kenya School of Communication Bill formally carries that legacy forward — every certificate, contract, and member of staff continues without interruption.

What changes is the mandate: statutory power to certify practitioners nationally, advise government directly, and produce and publish research and content in the School's own name.
