Training aviation professionals since 2003
Kenya Aeronautical College (KAC) is one of the region's most established aviation training institutions. From our campus at Wilson Airport, Nairobi, we have trained more than 7,000 engineers, pilots, cabin crew and operations professionals — many now working with airlines, maintenance organisations and airports across Kenya, Africa and beyond. Our motto, Dependable Knowledge, reflects a simple belief: aviation runs on standards, and so do we.
One college, the whole industry
Few colleges cover aviation as completely as KAC — from flying aircraft to engineering, maintaining and operating them.
KAC Flying School
A KCAA-approved Training Organisation operating from Wilson and Malindi, with a training fleet of Cessna and Piper aircraft. Over 90 professional pilots trained.
KAC Aviation Engineering Ltd
A KCAA-approved Aircraft Maintenance Organisation, giving engineering trainees a real maintenance environment.
Engineering & Operations
KNEC-examined diplomas, certificates and a degree partnership covering maintenance, avionics, cabin crew, flight operations, airport operations and travel.
Recognised where it matters
Standards-based training
KAC works within Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA) frameworks for flying and maintenance, delivers KNEC-examined engineering diplomas under TVETA, aligns business and cabin-crew programmes to IATA standards, and offers a degree in partnership with Shenyang Aerospace University (SAU), China. It's a combination that gives KAC graduates both local recognition and international reach.
