Tuko.co.ke recently published a list of the most marketable certificate courses in Kenya. The primary reason for earning a certificate is to gain essential skills and knowledge that make you more employable.

While the most marketable certificate courses in Kenya offer students a promising career opportunity, others lack value in the labour market. Therefore, you must choose a course strategically because it will go a long way in strengthening your prospects of getting a job.
