Where to Enroll in a Hospitality Training Course in Mombasa (2026 Guide)

If you are a young woman in Mombasa looking for a career in the booming tourism and hospitality industry, you are likely asking: “Where is the best place to get the skills that hotels actually want?”

While Mombasa is the heart of Coast tourism, the most transformative training is found just a short, scenic drive away in Kibaoni, Kilifi. Since 2009, Tewa Training Centre  has been the leading solution for women across the Coast seeking professional excellence and financial independence.

Why Choose Training Near Mombasa Over a City College?

Choosing where to study is a big decision. Here is why students from Mombasa choose to commute to Tewa:

1. NITA & KNEC Accredited Excellence

Employers in the high-end resorts of Watamu and Mombasa look for recognized standards. Tewa is a registered TVET institution offering NITA-certified hospitality programs and KNEC examinations, ensuring your qualification is respected nationwide.

2. Easy Access for Commuters

Tewa is conveniently located in Kibaoni, Kilifi, along the main Mombasa-Malindi highway.

Commuter Tip: Many of our students travel from Mombasa and Mtwapa daily. Start your morning with a fresh sea breeze in Kilifi and be back home by evening via the frequent public transport on the highway.

3. Strategic Industry Attachments

We have established partnerships with local hotels and tourism operators. Our students don't just study; they experience real-world internships in luxury resorts, often leading directly to employment.
