History of Zetech Uni
In 1997, a young man by the
name Ken Mbiuki, then an
engineering student at the
University of Nairobi, started a
small business of teaching short
ICT courses in his hostel room.
Contrary to what many people may
think, the university has very humble
beginnings. In 1997, a young man by
the name Ken Mbiuki, then an
engineering student at the University of
Nairobi, started a small business of
teaching short ICT courses in his hostel
room. He named it Zenith Technologies.
After realizing that there was a high
demand for ICT courses, Ken expanded
his business and in 1999, it was
incorporated into Zetech College. The
college has been operational since then
and it continued to attract an increasing
number of students pursuing different
courses.
Zetech University was formed in August
2014 after receiving the letter of
authority to offer university
programmes in Kenya. The inception of
the university was marked by the
construction of a multi-million 3 storey
complex located off Thika Road in Ruiru.
The institution now admits thousands of
students taking certificate, diploma and
degree courses. The institution also
