BEST COURSES TO STUDY IN KENYA

Kenya has lots of opportunities both in government, NGOs and private sector but these opportunities go to very few individuals. It’s not a miracle to see an individual changing 10 jobs in 3 years while another graduate being jobless for the same period. All these depend on the course you pursued in

college and your level of competence.

If you intend to pursue a further education please consider one of the following courses:

FINANCE AND CFA/ACCA

Financial analysts, investment Analysts and Research Analysts are among the highest paid professionals in Kenya. The average salary for Investment Analyst is Ksh 150,000 per month. In addition, once someone has undergraduate degree in Finance and CFA qualification the idea of being jobless will be history.

Though pursuing Chartered Financial Analyst course is not an easy task passing even level 1 will give you leverage over others and enhance your chances of being rewarded handsomely.

Medicine is a respected profession and one that needs passion. Kenya has a very small number of Doctors and our institutions produce less than the demand.

This is another profession which requires sugar coated mouth, mental energy and experience to break even.

A lawyer spends 4 years in University and another one year in the Kenya School of Law.

In order for your services to be sought for you must first be attached to a law firm belonging to a prominent lawyer, gain experience and finally start your own law firm. Alternatively you can be employed by the government.
