The council visits these institutions to verify if they meet the quality requirements before they are certified.In 2022, the government transferred the mandate and functions of TVET CDACC to the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) and the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD).

KICD is responsible for the Competency-Based Curriculum Development and Curriculum Support materials, while KNEC handles the functions of Competence Assessment and Award of Certificates.

This move aimed to streamline activities of government institutions and avoid duplication of roles.
