Important notice: United Africa College was previously advertised as a private training college based at KCS House, Mama Ngina Street, Nairobi. However, Kenya’s Technical and Vocational Education and Training Authority (TVETA) currently lists the college’s Nairobi registration as Expired License. Its historical courses and application form should not be treated as confirmation that it is authorised to admit new students today.
United Africa College TVETA registration status
The TVETA public register lists United Africa College in Nairobi under registration number TVETA/PRIVATE/TVC/0036/2015, with a licence expiry date of July 14, 2020 and status Expired License. A separate Laare branch in Meru is also listed with an expired licence dated July 12, 2022. These are the published regulatory records reviewed in October 2026; the school could seek renewal, so a new licence should be verified directly with TVETA before applicants make payments.
The regulator’s records are accessible through its institution register. An expired licence does not, by itself, prove that an organisation permanently closed, but it is not evidence of current authorisation to provide TVET training.
Courses historically advertised at United Africa College
The original 2016 directory post listed a wide selection of qualifications. The following are historical course examples only; no claim is made that applications remain open.
- Bridging in English and Mathematics
- Certificates in Business Administration, Business Management, Community Development and Social Work
- Certificates in Information Technology, Journalism, Sales and Marketing, and Hotel and Catering Management
- Professional training such as CPA, CPS and information communication technology technician qualifications
- Diplomas in Banking and Finance, Business Administration, Human Resource Management and Procurement
- Diplomas in Community Development, Journalism, Information Technology and Telecommunications Engineering
- Diplomas in Travel and Tourism, Front Office and Catering, Project Management and Public Relations
The original article also mentioned Community Health and Nutrition programmes. Prospective learners should verify professional and programme-specific approvals before considering any regulated health training. A generic college course advertisement cannot establish that the qualification is recognised.
Former location and admissions information
The 2016 listing gave KCS House, fourth and twelfth floors, Mama Ngina Street, Nairobi, and an old forms-and-downloads link on the unitedafrica.ac.ke domain. That information is archived here for historical reference, not as a current admissions office, official portal or payment instruction. No current intake, admission letter or active student portal has been independently confirmed for this update.
What prospective students should check
- Search the exact campus name and registration number in the live TVETA register.
- Confirm whether the status has changed to Registered and Licensed and note the new expiry date.
- Ask for evidence that the specific course and examining or awarding body are approved.
- Confirm the current physical address, intake, tuition and authorised payment channels.
- Do not pay former phone contacts, bank details or links from the 2016 listing without independent verification.
