The Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) has announced the opening of applications for online training in item writing for qualified teachers at Senior School and Vocational Level. The training, which will take place from October 12 to October 30, 2026, aims to develop quality test items for Competency-Based Assessment. Upon successful completion, participants will receive certification and may be engaged by KNEC in assessment-related activities as needed.

To qualify, applicants must meet several requirements: demonstrate integrity and maintain a clean professional record, possess subject expertise, currently teach the subject at either Senior School or Vocational Level, hold relevant academic and professional qualifications, have a minimum of one year of teaching experience, be registered with the Teachers Service Commission (TSC), and be formally recommended by their institution's head.

Interested teachers should apply online through the KNEC examiners portal before the deadline of September 30, 2026. KNEC advises teachers who have previously undergone its item-writing training to refrain from applying, as only shortlisted candidates will be notified. For more information, visit the KNEC website at www.knec.ac.ke.
