AIMS AND OBJECTIVES

1. To offer demand driven and tailor made courses in Bungoma Town.
2. To offer full time, part time, evening and school based classes for the residents of Bungoma Town and its environs who could not access learning / training facilities on regular arrangements in other colleges.
