However for renewal of those certificates which expires after a period of five years will require a teacher to have completed a TPD Module and must have at least 80 TPD points.

The Commission says, TPD points, transcript and a certificate will be issued after successful completion of every module.

Teachers will earn TPD points at the end of each year. Teachers will earn 60 TPD points based on the prescribed modules.

Teachers will also earn 40 TPD points based on professional learning captured under TPAD e.g INSETS  by CEMASTEA and others.

The Commission says the accumulated TPD points will be used to Renew Teaching Certificate of successful participants every 5 years.

TSC says the four accredited Service Providers contracted to offer TPD will deliver through;

1. Face to Face

In workshops at Sub County level. The workshop will take 5 days during one school holiday in a year.

2. Online webinar:  

During the other two school holidays in a year, professional learning will be through an online platform (synchronous and asynchronous) for 5 days.

Currently only four institutions have been accredited to offer TPD training. These are Mount Kenya University, Kenyatta University, Riara University and Kenya Education Management Institute (KEMI)

TPD  service  providers  must be recognized and registered with the Commission to offer services which must address the 7 KePTS

The Commission will accredited various categories of TPD service providers as follows:

Category 1: Government institutions mandated to capacity teachers e.g CEMASTEA, KICD  KISE,  KNEC: Their TPD learning outcomes must be aligned to at least one of the seven KePTS

Category 2: Non State actors who are in partnership with the Commission e.g Edu Trust, UNICEF. Their  TPD learning outcomes must be aligned to at least one of the seven KePTS.

Category 3: Organizations selected through competitive tendering system. Will  use the Commission’s prescribed modules with all the seven standards

Category 3 TPD Service providers will charge a fee for the services they will offer. Currently, teachers will be charged KSH 6000 per year payable directly to the TPD service provider.

More category 3 service providers will  be selected competitively through a  procurement process in 2023.

The Commission shall undertake continuous monitoring and evaluation of TPD programme to quality assure, offer professional support and give feedback on the training programmes.

There shall be seven modules, each having 5 chapters addressing all the 7 KePTS standards.

Kenya Professional Teaching Standards(KePTS) are a set of competency statements that describe what a Kenyan teacher should Know and able to do to enable all learners acquire the expected different learning outcomes in the curriculum.
