Coast Institute of Technology

Coast Institute of Technology (CIT) is a middle-level public college situated in the Tsavo area 2km away from Voi Town in Taita Taveta County and in proximity to nature, a quiet environment, and an expansive compound.

Coast Institute of Technology has positioned itself to realize the attainment of vision 2030 goals. The institute is impacting positively on quality education.

Way back in 1981 it was purposely created as a fully-fledged government-owned technical institution to meet the demand for quality education and training in Technical, Vocational, and Entrepreneurship Training (TVET).

Given that it is situated in the main tourist circuit in the country, the institute picked up well with courses in Hospitality, Tourism, and Business Studies among others.

The college has two campuses: Main Campus (which offers regular programs and holiday classes) and Town Campus (which offers part-time programs either as evening classes or Saturday classes).

The campus offers both residential and off-campus training. The college offers market-driven Diplomas, Craft Certificates, Artisan Certificates, and Short courses in both Business and Technical programs.

The Institute has 100 competent lecturers to deliver quality and effective teaching. 

The Institute runs income-generating activities to supplement its main source. 

We engage in Corporate Social Responsibility programs and so far we have undertaken a number of courses that benefit the community. 

Finally, our Women in Technical Education (WITED) has made us proud in championing girl rights and access to education. WITED champions organize celebrations for the International Day for the girl that attracts participants from all levels of education in the County.
