The Technical and Vocational Education and Training Curriculum Development, Assessment and Certification Council (TVET CDACC) has cautioned the public against circulating materials purporting to be legitimate assessment tools or papers from the council, saying the items are fraudulent and do not represent authentic TVET CDACC assessment content.
The warning, issued through a public notice and cautionary statement, comes as the council conducts its March/April 2026 series Competency-Based Education and Training Summative Assessment, which commenced on March 23, 2026, and is scheduled to run through April 14, 2026.
The council said it had become aware of materials being circulated and fraudulently sold through online platforms and other channels, and categorically stated that such materials are not genuine.
“The Council categorically states that such materials do not represent authentic TVET CDACC assessment tools/papers,” the notice read in part.
According to the council, all its assessment tools are subject to rigorous end-to-end encryption and are transmitted exclusively to registered assessment centres through approved secure channels with a verification process. The council added that it has protocols to immediately dispatch replacement tools should any suspected compromise occur.

The council strongly warned members of the public, trainers, candidates and trainees against purchasing, possessing or disseminating any purported assessment materials from unauthorised sources, saying such conduct constitutes fraud and is punishable under Kenyan law.
The council also said it would not be liable for any loss suffered as a result of engaging with fake materials, and disclosed that it is currently pursuing all necessary legal and administrative action against those involved in the distribution and sale of the fraudulent tools.
Members of the public were further advised that all official communication from TVET CDACC is disseminated exclusively through its official channels, including its website, www.tvetcdacc.go.ke, its Facebook page at @TVETCDACC, and its X account, formerly Twitter, also @TVETCDACC. Any information circulating outside these channels should be treated with caution and verified before use or action.
The council invited the public to report any instances of touting or solicitation of fake assessment materials through its official channels, assuring that appropriate action would be taken
“The Council reaffirms its commitment to delivering credible and integrity-driven CBET Assessment to all trainees in Kenya,” the notice stated.
