TSC Employment & Registration Status Online; How To Check
An Act of Parliament created the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) in July 1967 to address the disparities in pay for teachers looking for government employment.
The TSC has played a crucial role in ensuring that the recruitment process for teachers is professional, efficient, and fair. The commission operates in Nairobi with branch offices in all the counties in Kenya.
To work as a teacher in any public or private institution in Kenya, a person must hold a certificate of registration from the TSC. The commission requires all qualified teachers to meet specific requirements, including having a registration certificate.

The status of the TSC registration number can change over time, and a verified TSC status indicates that the commission has reviewed and approved your job application.
Other possible statuses include “In progress,” which indicates that the commission has received your application but has not yet processed it, and “Registered,” which indicates that your application has received approval.
Your TSC number is indicated on the portal, ‘Reset,’ which means there is an error in your application that needs to be corrected; ‘Incomplete,’ which means that your application is not complete or has not been submitted; and ‘Rejected’, which means that you do not qualify for registration as a qualified teacher.
The TSC may reject your application in some extremely rare circumstances. This can happen for several reasons, including a history of mental illness, questionable moral character, a criminal record with the Criminal Investigation Department, engaging in prejudicial activities against the constitution of Kenya, or lack of required academic and professional qualifications.
