Marketable Courses You Can do With a D+, D Plain or D- in KCSE

With a D+ or D plain in KCSE, high school graduates have many options in courses to take in the TVET and Technical Training colleges. Scoring an E, D, or D+ does not mean you have failed your KCSE. In fact, you can start with certificate courses and gradually move to the diploma and finally see yourself moving to a degree program in your area of study. Here, we have compiled an updated list of good courses you can do with a D+ or D plain, D- and E across TVET and technical institutions in Kenya.

Artisan certificate courses are basic-level courses that can be done by KCPE primary school leavers or students with E or D- grades. This level of courses produces skilled workers in specific trades (artisans).

Craft courses are more advanced giving you crafted practical skills ready for the market or self-employment. Craft certificate is the level of post-school courses that produce skilled technicians or craftsmen. These courses require at least a D plain in KCSE.
