Kenya Nutritionists and Dieticians Institute · sources read 3 Oct 2026
A college that trains (or plans to train) in nutrition and dietetics must first get an interim licence from KNDI, then invite KNDI for a full inspection against its 11 standards. CPD providers apply to KNDI's accreditation committee; a local conference costs KSh 55,000 in total.

- How long

- Where
- By writing to KNDI. KNDI offices, behind Valley View Park Estate, Mjengo, Mlolongo, off Mombasa Road (tel 0112 514865, info@kndi.institute)
What you need
- Completed KNDI interim licence application form (on the Downloads page)
- A copy of your existing curriculum, where you have one
- For the full licence: a written application stating the proposed inspection date, plus the full inspection fee
Steps
- Fill in KNDI's interim licence form and send it with a copy of your curriculum and the interim fee.
- Use the interim licence (usually one calendar year) to meet KNDI's standards. KNDI shares its core curriculum guidelines only with interim licence holders.
- Apply in writing for the full licence, propose an inspection date and time, and pay the full inspection fee.
- KNDI's team inspects you against 11 standards. The written report follows within two weeks, and the full licence is awarded if you comply.
- CPD providers: send a proposal with your scope to KNDI's accreditation committee. Costs for classes B to E are set case by case and communicated to you.
Watch out
- The licence is site-specific. A new campus or college is treated as a separate institution and needs its own licence and inspection.
- You must renew with a full re-inspection every 4 years, at the same rates.
- Training or examining in nutrition and dietetics without KNDI approval is an offence with a fine of at least KSh 500,000, or jail.
Who can apply
- Any institution training, or planning to train, in nutrition and dietetics at certificate, diploma or degree level.
- CPD providers: conference organisers, training institutions, organisations and companies, individual providers and research organisations.
