Examiners for the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) will receive training from the Kenya National Examinations Council between August 18 and August 24, 2024.
The training charge is Sh10,500, and only the shortlisted applicants will be able to pay it, according to KNEC. They will receive instructions on how to do so via the web and SMS.
