Mount Kenya University, Kenyatta University, Riara, and the Kenya Education Management Institute (KEMI) are some of the universities and colleges that the Teaches Service Commission, (TSC) has chosen to partner with in order to provide training in TPD.
Only teachers who are registered with the TSC can participate in the programme.
