In today’s job market, a Degree or a Diploma alone is not enough to get you the job you want. Gone are the days when having a Degree was the ticket to getting a job. Today, people with Certificate courses are as successful as those with Masters Degrees.
The reason is simply because employers are more interested in the skills you have, in order to deliver and perform well in a certain role.

Most Marketable Certificate Courses in Kenya
1. Management Certificate
If you are looking to be a boss one day, a Management Certificate is one of the best and most marketable courses in Kenya you can take. This course aims at building people into becoming leaders in the work place.
A source from the Kenya Insititute of management says that the entire course is KES 20,500 which is definitely worth your money. There is the option of studying in the evening if you have work during the day.
In the past, mentioning that you were a Student leader or a School prefect showed the employer that you are a great leader, and that you are disciplined and reliable.
Today, employers are more interested in technical skills you may be having, such as Management skills.
A management Certificate is the best proof that you can be a good leader, and therefore an asset to the company, whether or not the position you are eyeing in a Company is Managerial.
