Shortlisted applicants will be required to pay a training fee of Ksh10,500 after receiving notification through SMS and the KNEC examiners’ application portal.

The recruitment targets examiners for several KJSEA subjects, including English, Kiswahili, Mathematics, Integrated Science, Agriculture, Social Studies, Christian Religious Education, Creative Arts and Sports, Pre-Technical Studies and Special Needs Education papers.
For KCSE, vacancies are available in subjects such as Kiswahili, Biology Practical, Islamic Religious Education, Computer Studies, French, German, Arabic and several Special Needs Education papers.

According to KNEC, applicants must be practising teachers or tutors in the relevant subject areas, be registered or employed by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) or the Public Service Commission, possess at least a diploma in education and have a minimum of three years’ teaching experience.
Applicants must also be recommended by their head of institution, be aged 50 years or below, and must not be serving any interdiction or disciplinary action by TSC or their employer.
How to Apply
Interested teachers are required to submit their applications through the KNEC Examiners’ Portal by logging in with their CP2 accounts or creating new accounts before selecting the available training vacancies.
The council noted that only applicants who meet all the requirements and submit the necessary documents will be shortlisted.
Successful trainees will later be engaged by KNEC to mark KJSEA and KCSE examination papers in line with the council’s examiner recruitment requirements and personnel needs.
The recruitment comes days after the government released Ksh1.5 billion to settle outstanding marking allowances for teachers who marked the 2025 KCSE and KJSEA examinations.
