Who We Are

The Centre for Open & Distance Education

The KCA University Centre for Open and Distance Education (CODE) is a dedicated academic unit committed to making quality, accredited education accessible to all — regardless of location, schedule, or circumstance. Established to bridge the gap between traditional campus-based learning and the needs of working professionals, parents, and students in remote areas, CODE delivers rigorous, spiritually grounded academic programs through our state-of-the-art Moodle eLearning platform.
Education should not be a privilege of proximity. Every Kenyan student deserves access to world-class learning, wherever they are.”
Our faculty are drawn from across Kenya’s academic landscape, ensuring that learners receive the same depth of instruction as those on our Nairobi campus — enriched by the flexibility of asynchronous and live-streamed lectures.
