Michuki National Polytechnic in Kangema, Murang’a County, is the institution formerly known as Michuki Technical Training Institute (MTTI). Government reporting confirmed its elevation to national-polytechnic status in 2024, while TVETA lists it as a registered and licensed national polytechnic under TVETA/PUBLIC/NP/0002/2025. This guide uses its current institutional name and preserves the old permalink for people following historic links.
History and national-polytechnic status
The institution began in 1956 as a youth training centre. It subsequently operated as Michuki Technical High School and Kangema Technical Training Institute before again using Michuki Technical Training Institute. In December 2024 the Government Advertising Agency reported approval of its elevation, enabling the institution to expand its technical and vocational training ambitions.
TVETA’s licensing register identifies the current provider as Michuki National Polytechnic, a public institution in Murang’a County, with its registration status recorded as licensed. The original 2016 article’s institutional name is therefore out of date.
