If you have gained skills through work, self-employment, informal training, or everyday practice, RPL allows those skills to be assessed and certified—without having to start training all over again.

At The Nyeri National Polytechnic, RPL focuses on what you can do, not just where you learned it. Your skills are checked against national standards, and if you meet the requirements, you can earn a certificate or progress to the next level of training.

Why RPL matters

RPL helps many people, including artisans, technicians, and skilled workers, to move forward in their careers. Through RPL, you can:

• Gain entry into training programmes

• Improve your chances of employment or promotion

• Receive formal recognition for skills you already have

• Save time and money by avoiding repeat training

• Build confidence through official certification

Our commitment

The Nyeri National Polytechnic supports RPL as part of its commitment to inclusive, flexible, and accessible education. We believe skills matter—whether they were gained in a classroom, a workshop, or on the job—and everyone deserves an opportunity to have their abilities recognised.

If you have skills and experience, RPL can help you take the next step.
