The Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) has flagged as fake a notice claiming to offer 16 additional courses for applicants to the institution.

On June 26, KMTC flagged a Facebook Group post that reported the fake courses, warning, "Beware of conmen!".

The post, in a group purporting to provide insights on the 2025 and 2026 KMTC intakes, advised students with Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) grades ranging from C (plain) to D- (minus) to take advantage of the opportunity.

It also claimed that the slots were available for March, May and September intakes.

"Are you among those who scored a mean grade of C, C-, D+, D- in your KCSE exams, and your dream is to study a medical course? The mighty Kenya Medical Training College has the solution for you," the fake notice read.

With over 36,000 members in the group, the fraudulent advertisement exposed many KMTC hopefuls to the risk of being scammed, as it directed prospective applicants to join a separate WhatsApp group.

The fake notice comes at a time when applicants are scrambling for the few slots remaining for the September intake of KMTC after the Kenya University and College Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) reopened its portal for the same.

The portal, reopened on June 23, will remain open for the next two weeks until July 7 to facilitate applications to the 36 courses available.

"Announcement! The KUCCPS online system is open for the Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) September 2025 intake application," KUCCPS announced on June 23.

For students facing difficulties in applying through the portal, all Huduma Centres across the country offer the same service and they have been advised to take advantage of this.

All KMTC applications are made through the KUCCPS portal, and any other means of application advertised should be treated as fraudulent.
