KNEC Portal Login And Services (Everything Explained!)

The Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC) has made it easy for KCPE and KCSE candidates to view their national exam results online through the KNEC portal. School heads even can download result slips for the entire school on the portal.

On the other hand, contracted professionals such as invigilators, exam supervisors, center heads, and even security officers can also use the portal to view and download their deployment letters.

Moreover, school heads can access relevant material relating to Competence-Based Assessment (CBA) right on the portal. So, everyone who goes to KNEC for assistance doesn’t have to do it in person as they can do everything from the comfort of their homes.

This guide will shed light on the various processes of accessing KNEC services through the portal. I’ll also highlight the services you can access through the portal and how to go about it.

Here we go!

KNEC Portal for Students

The KNEC student portal allows continuing, returning, and prospective students to access various KNEC services online. Such services include:

Course registration
Exam payment
Check and print KNEC results
Monitor academic calendars

Ongoing learners can also access course materials and information on government bursaries on the portal.

How to Log into the KNEC Student Portal (KNEC Portal Login)

To access the KNEC student portal, visit KNEC-portal.ac.ke and log in using your phone number (your user name) and password.

If you don’t have the login details, click on create account to sign up. Note that you’ll receive the password via SMS.

KNEC CP2 Portal

The Kenya National Examination Council allows KNEC contracted professionals like invigilators, exam center heads, supervisors, and security personnel to access various KNEC services online through the Contracted Professionals System (CP2) portal.

Such services include:

Confirming and downloading appointment letters
Confirming and updating personal information
Applying for CP2 jobs

How to Access the CP2 KNEC Portal

As a First-Timer

First-time users can access the CP2 portal by visiting cp2.knec.ac.ke and following the signup steps. Ordinarily, clicking the link leads you to a login page.

Since you are a new user, you cannot log into the portal without a username and password. That means you must first sign up to obtain the login details. So, scroll down to identify the ‘create account’ tab and click on it.

You’ll need to use your phone number as the user name and wait to receive the password via SMS.

As an Existing CP2 Member

You don’t need to sign up if you are already an existing CP2 member. Thus, you should go straight to cp2.knec.ac.ke and log into your CP2 account.

You’ll access a dashboard that allows you access to all CP2 services.

Note that you can recover the password to your CP2 account if you cannot remember it once you click on forgotten password and follow the steps. Alternatively, you can text ‘password’ and forward the SMS to 22262.

General Guides for Using the CP2 Portal

Job Application

Once you log into your CP2 account, you can apply for a job through these steps:

Click the search button on the dashboard to view available CP2 jobs
Click on the feedback message of the job you want to apply
Complete an application form and confirm the details on the check box
Click ‘submit application’ and wait to receive a ‘thank you’ feedback

Note that you can withdraw an already submitted application and resubmit it if you made a mistake during the application. All it takes is to click on the red ‘withdraw’ button on your dashboard.

Profile Editing/Updating

Once you log into your CP2 account, you can edit and update your account with relevant personal, qualification, and professional information.

Depending on the information you want to edit or update, you need to click on the specific link. You can even add additional information by clicking on the ‘add’ tab.

Appointment/Deployment Letter Download

As a KNEC-contracted professional, you can download your contract letter on your CP2 dashboard. You’ll need to click the letter under the deployment tab. That lets you view where you’ve been deployed and download the letter for printing.

Generally, the KCPE portal allows primary school heads to access the following services:

Register new KCPE candidates for the national exams
Download subject and master nominal rolls
Edit the details of the registered KCPE candidates

Wait for your KCPE results to show on the screen

Sadly, you cannot download a KCSE result slip online this way unless you have the school logins. Otherwise, your option is to go and get the physical copy from your school.

Also, note that you cannot download your KCSE results slip this way. You can only do it with the school code and login password, usually with the principal teacher. If you want a physical copy of the results, you have to get it from your high school.

KNEC CBA Portal

KNEC also allows institutions to access CBA (Competence-Based Assessment)-related services through the online portal. That includes services like learner’s registration, CBA reports, CBA assessment scores, learner’s transfers, nominal roll download, headteacher questionnaire, and marks entering.

Overall, you need the center’s KNEC code to use as the username and password (provided during the CBA account setup). Once you have the KNEC portal username and password, you can log into your CBA portal by visiting CBA.knec.ac.ke.

If you don’t have the password, click on ‘forget password’ to recover it via email.
