Rift Valley Institute Of Science And Technology-Offered Courses

The Rift Valley Institute of Science and Technology (RVIST) was founded in 1979 in Nakuru County, then Rift Valley County. It is located ten kilometers west of the city of Nakuru along the Nakuru-Njoro Road.

The institute is the brainchild of Rift Valley leaders and people led by His Excellency Hon. Daniel Toroitich Arap Moi CGH, the second President of the Republic of Kenya who had the vision to create an institution that would advance education advancement and development in the region.

Through their efforts, they were able to mobilize funds through the generous contributions of local communities and county people through the Harambe spirit that led to the purchase of land and the establishment of a fully-fledged technical institute.

The institute played an important role in educating young people, as it contributed to creating job opportunities in both the public and private sectors and advancing development in the region and the country.
