The Eldoret National Polytechnic
The Eldoret National Polytechnic has recorded tremendous growth in the development of middle-level training as an institution since inception. It has continually fulfilled its mandate in training young people to acquire skills and technical knowledge that are in line with the industrial growth of our country.
The rural-urban setting of the Polytechnic has enabled students to study from their homes and thus reduce cost whereas the private hostels around the institution have provided affordable accommodation for our students.
Eldoret National Polytechnic has a unique symbolic relationship with the surrounding community, which has been supportive. The good discipline among students coupled with teamwork between teaching and non-teaching staff has ensured harmony, and synergy in the Polytechnic learning environment.
The teaching, as well as non-teaching staff at Eldoret National Polytechnic, are qualified in their own area of professional expertise, which has put the institution ahead of many others in ensuring the Polytechnic meets its core mandate.
Our recommendable growth owes to several factors that favour our location. Chief among these are our unique geographical location in the western region that has a number of industries that provide a huge job market for our graduates.
To be in tandem with the global era of digitalization The Eldoret National Polytechnic has established and equipped several computer laboratories has been established and equipped to enhance students’ access to computer training and high-speed internet connectivity via fiber links. This will go a long way to link students to e-learning resources to supplement the learning materials available at the Polytechnic’s library.
