BUTERE TECHNICAL TRAINING INSTITUTE

WELCOME TO ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT

Opening Doors to Great Careers

Hello 🙋, welcome to the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Butere Technical Training Institute.

We are committed to producing highly skilled, innovative, and industry-ready professionals through implementation of Modularized Curriculum for Competency-Based Education and Training (CBET) in Electrical installation, electronics, and related technologies.

The department integrates practical learning in our state-of-the-art workshops and equipment, research, and industry collaboration to ensure a trainee upon completion acquires hands-on experience relevant to the modern workplace and is issued with a certificate by TVET Curriculum Development, Assessment and Certification Council (CDACC) which is the Qualification Awarding Institution for Butere TTI.

CDACC CERTIFICATES IN MODULAR

Three forms of certification are provided to enhance employability, upskilling, flexibility in training and support Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).

A trainee admitted into pursuing a given Qualification Level (3,4,5 or 6) and demonstrates competence in all the Units of Competency as given in the qualification level, he/she is awarded The Kenya National TVET Certificate.
A trainee admitted in a particular Core Unit of Competence and upon demonstration of competence he is issued with a Certificate of Competency.
A trainee admitted in a certifiable element within a unit and demonstrates competence in that element, he/she may be issued Statement of Attainment certificate

Advantages of modular program

Modular training provides flexible entry and exit points, allowing learners to:

Train part-time while working or managing other responsibilities
Pause and resume learning without starting over
Progress at their own pace

This is particularly beneficial for adult learners, informal sector (JuaKali) workers, and youth with limited access to continuous training opportunities.

Welcome to the Electrical and Electronic Engineering Department of Butere TTI. As a department, we take pride in upholding Kenya’s 17 National Values and Principles of Governance, which guide every aspect of our training, service delivery, and professional conduct. We are committed to nurturing competent, ethical, and industry-ready graduates who embody integrity, patriotism, hard work, and respect for diversity.

In line with our national commitment to inclusive and equitable technical education, we continuously strengthen Disability Mainstreaming within our department. We ensure that all trainees—regardless of ability—access supportive learning environments, adaptive technologies, and fair opportunities to excel in their engineering pathways.

We also champion Gender Equality and WITED (Women in Technical Education and Development) empowerment. Our department actively encourages female participation in STEM, promotes mentorship, and fosters a culture where all trainees can thrive and lead in traditionally male-dominated engineering fields.

As Kenya advances the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA), we position our department as a catalyst for the nation’s industrial, digital, and energy transition. Through CBET-aligned training, industry partnerships, and innovation-driven programs, we equip our trainees with the practical skills and mindset needed to contribute meaningfully to national development.

Together, we continue to build a department where excellence, inclusivity, and innovation define our identity.

Welcome to a future powered by skill, integrity, and opportunity.
