Acquiring a clearance certificate from the Higher Educations Loans Board (HELB) has now become even more convenient especially with the Body waiving the Ksh1,000 acquisition fee for non-loanees.
The certificate which many employers ask for when you apply for a job can be applied for online on the HELB portal or on the e-Citizen portal.
There are two types of clearance certificates that you can apply for. 1) Loanee Compliance Certificate if you are up to date with your loan repayment or 2) Non-Loanee Compliance Certificate if you have never benefited from HELB loan.
