The Occupational Therapy Council of Kenya has released a list of institutions accredited to offer Occupational Therapy (OT) training in the country and warned the public against enrolling in unapproved colleges.
In a public notice issued in January 2025, the council said only three institutions are recognised to offer Occupational Therapy programmes in Kenya.
The approved institutions are Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC), which offers a Diploma in Occupational Therapy, Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT), which offers a Bachelor of Science in Occupational Therapy, and Presbyterian University of East Africa (PUEA), which also offers a Bachelor of Science in Occupational Therapy.
The council said there is no approved or recognised certificate course in Occupational Therapy in Kenya.
“Take notice that there is no certificate course in Occupational Therapy approved or recognised in Kenya,” the council said.
It also named four institutions that are not accredited to offer Occupational Therapy training. These are Medprime Training College, Kiharu Technical Training College, Kenya College of Interior Design and Finstock Evarsi.
The council urged students and parents to verify the accreditation status of any institution claiming to offer Occupational Therapy before enrolling, warning that training in unrecognised colleges may lead to invalid qualifications.
