ICDL References & Endorsement Highlights for Kenya

In Kenya, ICDL has been formally adopted into national law since 2009, when the Government amended the Information and Communications Act to recognize ICDL certification as the entry-level computer certification designed to demonstrate competence in computer use.This legal embedding provided strong legitimacy, and since then ICDL has become a standard in both public and private sectors across Kenya. ICDL Global

Further endorsement comes from technical and regulatory bodies: the Technical and Vocational Education and Training Authority (TVETA) has accredited ICDL Africa as a “Foreign Examination Body,” approving the ICDL program as a certificate‐level qualification within Kenya’s TVET system, which allows both public and private institutions to offer it. ICDL Global

Additionally, ICDL certification is mapped to Level 3 on Kenya’s National Qualifications Framework (KNQF) by the Kenya National Qualifications Authority (KNQA), reflecting governmental confidence in its educational value and alignment with national skills standards. ICDL Global
