When
it used to be known as the Mombasa Polytechnic, the Technical University of
Mombasa used to offer a wide variety of certificate courses. Does it still do
so?
I ask that question because when I came to Mombasa, one of my goals was to enroll
for a certain certificate course at the Technical University of Mombasa. But then I was held up by other
responsibilities, to a point where I never got the time to enroll for the
certificate course at the Technical University of Mombasa.
I remember when it
was the Mombasa Polytechnic, and they used to run full-page newspaper ads for
various diploma and certificate courses. Some of them would be in engineering
technical fields, whereas others were in business fields.
You actually come to realize
that many of the middle class professionals in Mombasa were actually trained at
the Technical University of Mombasa when it was a polytechnic. Many of them did
relatively simple certificate courses at the Mombasa Polytechnic/Technical
University of Mombasa, then worked their way up their various fields, to a
level where today they are viewed as ‘consultants’ in their respective fields.
But
I also appreciate that many of the certificate courses are now offered at the Mombasa
Technical Training Institute and at the Mombasa Coast Polytechnic among other
TVET institutions within Mombasa City.
