Prospective students wishing to join the Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) can now apply for the September 2026 intake after the Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) officially opened applications for pre-service programmes.
The application window comes just days after KMTC students completed their Final Qualifying and End-of-Semester examinations, paving the way for a new group of trainees set to report later this year.
Applicants seeking admission into pre-service programmes have until August 11, 2026, to submit their applications through the KUCCPS Student Portal.
Meanwhile, candidates applying for in-service and upgrading programmes have been directed to submit their applications through the official KMTC Admissions Portal.
KMTC Warns Against Fake Admission Notices
The latest announcement follows a recent warning by KMTC over a fraudulent admission poster that had been circulating on social media, falsely claiming that applications for several medical courses had opened.
The fake notice advertised programmes such as Clinical Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, Medical Engineering, Medical Laboratory Sciences, Radiography, Public Health, and other health-related courses, misleading prospective applicants.
KMTC urged the public to disregard unofficial admission notices and cautioned applicants against relying on information shared through unverified social media platforms. The institution emphasized that all admission updates should be obtained only through its official communication channels.
How to Apply
According to KUCCPS:
- Applications for pre-service programmes must be submitted through the KUCCPS Student Portal.
- Applications for in-service and upgrading courses should be made through the KMTC Admissions Portal.
Applicants are encouraged to complete their submissions before the August 11 deadline to avoid missing out on available slots.

Government Targets Stronger Healthcare Workforce
