Nomination of Centre Managers, Supervisors, and Invigilators
To ensure the smooth running of these assessments, KNEC requires the identification and nomination of centre managers, supervisors, and invigilators. The selected personnel must be vetted and their details submitted into the CP2 system by 11th October 2024 through the link: http://cp2.knec.ac.ke.
Recruitment Guidelines
When nominating personnel, the following guidelines must be adhered to:
Teacher Qualifications
Only qualified, employed, and TSC-registered teachers should be nominated. They must exhibit high integrity and be incorruptible.
Avoiding Conflicts of Interest
Supervisors and invigilators must not be deployed to examination centres where they have personal interests. Each individual must declare their connection to the centre they are assigned to.
Verification of Personnel
Centre managers are responsible for verifying the details and workstations of supervisors and invigilators posted to their centres. They must also take daily attendance.
Invigilation in Stage-Based Pathway Schools
Teachers in schools with Stage-Based Pathway learners will invigilate their own students. The ratio of one invigilator per ten learners should be maintained. These invigilators are also required to sign the declaration form.
Supervisor Allocation
Each supervisor should manage up to 200 candidates. Hosted centres will not require supervisors.
Invigilator Allocation
For every 20 candidates, one invigilator should be deployed. Hosted centres should receive invigilators based on their candidate numbers.
Centre Management for Hosted and Hosting Centres
Both hosted and hosting centres are required to have their own centre managers. The hosting centre manager will handle the collection and return of examination materials.
Deployment Restrictions
Supervisors and invigilators should not be deployed to the same centre for more than two consecutive years. The CP2 system will automatically restrict such deployments.
System Registration
Only personnel registered in the CP2 system will be deployed, and only they will have their claims processed.

Assistance with Recruitment
Sub-counties facing recruitment challenges should communicate their issues, and necessary support will be provided.
