| Thika Institute of Technology is located
within Thika town. Thika is a highly industrialised town
that offers opportunities and training linkages with industries.
The main campus is strategically located a few metres
from town centre (near Kenya National Library Services
and Thika General Hospital) to provide conducive learning
environment and give students easy access to these facilities.
The main campus houses ultra-modern medical school, administration
office, and recreational facilities. This campus caters
for technological course such as pharmacy and medical
laboratory technology.
The Institute enjoys ten years of association with
development agencies from which the institute borrowed
its original plan for the current establishment. Currently,
it is the biggest private training institution in the
larger Central Province and probably the only one with
the greatest outreach in various parts of the country.
The Institute is registered with the Ministry of Education,
Science and Technology. It is also an accredited and
approved centre of University of Nairobi, Kenya Institute
of Management (KIM), Kenya National Examination Council
(KNEC), ABE-UK, ICM-UK, ABMA-UK and KASNEB. We are constantly
reviewing and upgrading our training modules in order
to keep pace with the dynamic modern technology. Recently
the institute has updated its curriculum by including
pharmacy and medical laboratory technology training.
The Institute offers both full time and part-time studies
at competitive rates adjusting such rates according
to the needs of students. The Institute provides professional
education in applied sciences and management/human resource
development. We have liberal programmes of courses which
seek to develop literacy, abstract, logical and critical
analysis and fostering scientific, technological and
social innovations.
The Institute is committed towards academic excellence.
It is acknowledged for its quality education and has
churned out competent and confident professionals. The
institute admits students with demonstrated desire to
learn and recruits staff who possess unique ability
to teach in a seminar atmosphere. The institute provides
a positive learning environment and seeks a holistic
development of its students thus building a solid education
foundation and personal growth. Our trainees have opportunities
of pursuing degree courses after graduating from the
Institute.
