Kenya Institute of Media and Technology (KIMT) was listed in a 2016 Nairobi education directory as a college offering journalism, film, broadcasting, ICT, engineering and hospitality courses. The earlier article located it at Taveta Court near Odeon Cinema in central Nairobi. The institution’s current registration, active admissions, campus address and course approvals have not been independently confirmed from reliable current institutional sources for this review.
Is Kenya Institute of Media and Technology operating in 2026?
The historical directory entry and older secondary listings establish that training was advertised under this name. However, an independent, up-to-date official college website and a clearly identifiable current TVETA licence for the exact name were not verified in this research. This is not proof of permanent closure, but it means this post should not advertise new applications or quote historic fees as current.
Kenya’s Ministry of Education recommends checking the TVETA registered and licensed institutions directory and ensuring the specific programme is approved before enrolling. Search the exact legal provider name rather than assuming that a similarly named college is the same institution.

Historical campus, contact and application forms

These details are historical and must not be used as current payment, enrolment or identification-document submission channels without independent verification.
