These teacher education examinations are professional examinations presented to prospective teachers at various levels.
“Additionally, candidates who were referred to Primary Education (PTE) examination, which has been phased out, shall be allowed to re-sit the papers referred for the last time in March/April 2023. After that, KNEC shall not offer the PTE examination,” KNEC added.

Other certifications include a Diploma in Teacher Education (DTE), a Diploma in Special Education, and a Diploma and Certificate in Early Childhood Development Education (ECDE).
Students who seek to specialize in Early Childhood Education undertake ECDE-accredited courses.
After passing the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examination, students who intend to teach at the Primary School level enroll in the PTE, a two-year program.
All participants receive a certificate in Primary Teacher Education upon completion of the program.
The TCAE examination, on the other hand, is a two-year course that students who intend to teach at an adult education facility must complete after passing the KCSE.
On behalf of KNEC, the Directorate of Adult and Continuing Education within the Ministry of Education administers the exam to eligible Kenyan candidates.
All interested teachers have been encouraged to register before the deadline.
