\n Quick answer<\/span>\n

What can you study with a C\u2212 in Kenya?<\/h2>\n <\/div>\n

A KCSE mean grade of C\u2212 qualifies you for direct entry into many Diploma or Level 6 programmes<\/strong>. Options include ICT, engineering, construction, automotive technology, welding, agriculture, supply chain, accountancy, hospitality, fashion design and community development. The exact course may still require a particular subject grade.<\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n

C\u2212 opens the diploma door. It does not decide which diploma will suit you.<\/p>\n

Start with the work you can see yourself doing. Then compare the subject requirements, training facilities, practical hours, complete cost and attachment arrangement.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n
