LICENSING
Board & licensing exam prep
Most professions in Kenya require a board or licensing exam after graduation, before independent practice is allowed. This is a different stage from CPD: CPD renews an existing licence to practise, while this content helps candidates pass the exam that grants one in the first place — including KASNEB’s three-part CPA exam, sat separately from ICPAK’s ongoing CPD requirement.
| Profession | Path to licensure | Governing / examining body |
|---|---|---|
| Medicine | Internship, then licensing exam | KMPDC |
| Law | Kenya School of Law (ATP), then the Bar exam for admission as an advocate | Kenya School of Law / CLE |
| Veterinary medicine | Licensing exam after graduation | Kenya Veterinary Board (KVB) |
| Pharmacy | Licensing exam after graduation | Pharmacy and Poisons Board (PPB) |
| Nursing | Licensing exam after graduation | Nursing Council of Kenya (NCK) |
| Clinical medicine | Licensing exam after graduation | Clinical Officers Council (COC) |
| Accounting | CPA-K exams (also covers CIFA, CS) | KASNEB |
| Engineering | Graduate engineer, then professional engineer exams | Engineers Board of Kenya (EBK) |
| Architecture / Quantity Surveying | Registration exams after supervised practice | BORAQS |
| Actuarial science | Professional exam series | Actuarial Society of Kenya / IFoA / SOA |
| Land surveying | Registration exam after supervised practice | Survey Board of Kenya |
ℹ️
Most professions follow the same pattern: degree, then a supervised internship or pupillage, then a board exam, then registration to practice independently. mClass content for this section is built around that exam — past questions, syllabus breakdowns and timed mock sittings — rather than ongoing CPD points.
