SUMMARY:THE TAXATION MASTERCLASS 2026 EDITION 2 (mandatory training)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nTHE TAXATION MASTERCLASS 2026 EDITION 2\nTheme: Advancing Tax Excellence in a Digital\, Sustainable and Globally Evolving Economy\nDate: 15th-19th June 2026\nTime: 09.00am-03.30pm\nVenue: Sarova Whitesands Beach Resort & Spa\, Mombasa \nThis is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration \nINTRODUCTION \nThe tax environment in Kenya and across the globe is undergoing rapid transformation driven by technological advancement\, evolving fiscal needs and heightened expectations for transparency and accountability. As governments embrace digital systems and align with international tax reforms\, organizations must re-evaluate their approaches to compliance\, planning and financial governance. These shifts demand that accounting and finance professionals enhance their technical capacity and deepen their understanding of new tax trends. \nIn Kenya\, ongoing tax policy reforms continue to reshape the fiscal landscape\, with significant implications for businesses\, public institutions and individuals. The increasing use of digital tools\, enhanced tax reporting procedures and structured revenue mobilisation strategies require practitioners who can interpret regulatory changes and apply them effectively within their organizations. This has made continuous professional development not just desirable\, but essential. \nAt the same time\, international tax developments\, including global minimum tax adoption\, digital economy taxation and strengthened anti-avoidance frameworks are influencing domestic practice. Accountants and tax professionals must stay ahead of these changes to ensure compliance\, support strategic decision-making and mitigate risks arising from cross-border transactions and emerging global standards. \nSustainability considerations have further expanded the scope of tax practice\, with governments integrating environmental\, social and governance (ESG) principles into fiscal policy. Tax professionals now play a central role in advising on green incentives\, climate-linked fiscal measures and sustainability reporting expectations. This evolution underscores the need for practitioners to understand how tax interacts with broader ESG and regulatory frameworks. \nThe Taxation Masterclass is therefore designed as an intensive\, technical and forward-looking program that equips finance and accounting professionals with the knowledge\, tools and insights required to navigate and excel in an increasingly complex tax environment. It blends tax policy\, global reforms\, digital transformation\, risk management and sustainability into a cohesive professional learning experience. \nTAXATION MASTERCLASS OBJECTIVES \nParticipants will be able to benefit from the following upon successful completion: \n\nDeepen Understanding of Modern Tax Ecosystems: Strengthen knowledge of evolving tax landscapes\, including digital tax systems\, automation and AI-driven administration\, and their implications for organizational compliance.\nInterpret Current Tax Policy Reforms: Examine the impact of Kenya’s ongoing tax changes\, such as incentive rationalization\, revenue mobilisation measures and regulatory adjustments on businesses\, institutions\, and fiscal stability.\n\niii.

SUMMARY:THE INTERNAL AUDIT MASTERCLASS-MANDATORY TRAINING
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nTHE INTERNAL AUDIT MASTERCLASS (MANDATORY TRAINING)\nTheme: Driving Organizational Resilience\, Governance Excellence\, and Sustainable Value Through Advanced Internal Audit Practice\nDate: 20th – 24th April 2026\nTime: 09.00am-03.30pm\nVenue: Eka Hotel\, Eldoret\n(This is one of the mandatory trainings for practicing certificate consideration) \nOVERVIEW \nInternal audit is a fundamental pillar of corporate governance\, entrusted with safeguarding organizational assets\, strengthening internal control systems\, and supporting boards and management in fulfilling their mandates. In today’s volatile and competitive environment\, internal auditors must possess a deep understanding of the business—its mission\, strategic priorities\, risks\, and operating landscape. At the heart of the profession lies a guiding question: Are we governing\, managing\, and executing in ways that protect and create sustainable value? \nGlobal and regional dynamics are reshaping organizational realities. Technological disruption\, digital transformation\, cybersecurity threats\, heightened regulatory demands\, ESG reporting expectations\, shifting markets\, and economic uncertainties have intensified stakeholder calls for transparency\, accountability\, and timely insights into emerging risks. This evolution has elevated internal audit from a compliance-oriented function to a forward-looking\, strategic partner in organizational resilience and governance excellence. \nThe release of the Global Internal Audit Standards (2025) marks a milestone for the profession. These harmonized standards set enhanced expectations around ethical conduct\, independence\, objectivity\, competence\, and audit quality. They emphasize robust assurance methodologies\, data-driven audits\, agile practices\, and a sharpened focus on risk management and governance effectiveness. To remain relevant\, internal auditors must integrate advanced analytics\, digital auditing tools\, ESG considerations\, and strategic insight into their work. \nAcross Kenya and the wider region\, organizations face economic pressures\, governance reforms\, digital adoption\, climate-related risks\, and tightening regulatory oversight. This dynamic environment demands internal auditors who can provide credible assurance\, exercise sound judgment\, maintain professional skepticism\, and deliver evidence-based insights to executive leadership. Effectiveness is now measured not only by the quality of findings\, but by the ability to anticipate risks\, guide decision-making\, and enhance long-term organizational value. \nLeading an internal audit function requires a delicate balance of technical excellence\, diplomacy\, and leadership. With teams often comprising both seasoned auditors and newcomers\, leaders must manage expectations\, uphold audit quality\, nurture talent\, and safeguard independence. Navigating organizational politics\, communicating difficult messages\, and aligning with governance priorities call for maturity\, resilience\, and strategic acumen. \nInternal audit functions must also continually assess their readiness and relevance. This involves strengthening competencies\, adopting new technologies\, advancing methodologies\, and conducting periodic quality assessments. A progressive audit function embraces continuous improvement\, fosters ethical culture\, and reinforces accountability across the organization. \nAgainst this backdrop\, ICPAK has organized the Internal Audit Masterclass\, a five-day program bringing together internal auditors\, audit committee members\, governance practitioners\, and professionals from diverse sectors. The Masterclass will explore the Global Internal Audit Standards (2025)\, advanced risk-based auditing\, governance collaboration\, ESG assurance\, cybersecurity\, digital auditing\, and strategic advisory capabilities. Designed to be highly experiential\, the program combines expert-led presentations\, case studies\, scenario-based learning\, practical demonstrations\, and peer exchange. Participants will gain insights into what works\, what does not\, and what defines excellence in modern internal audit practice\, while networking widely with peers from both public and private sectors. \nBy the end of the program\, participants will be equipped to elevate internal audit quality\, reinforce governance frameworks\, deliver value-adding assurance\, and support decision-making processes that advance transparency\, accountability\, and sustainable performance. The Masterclass underscores ICPAK’s commitment to strengthening the internal audit profession and empowering practitioners to meet the demands of an increasingly complex risk environment. \nThe Masterclass is divided into the following five modules covering key fundamental learning areas: \n\n\n\nDAY\nMODULE\nTOPICS\nKEY AREAS TO BE COVERED\n\n\n\n\nDAY 1\n1.

SUMMARY:PRACTICAL ETHICS AND COMPLIANCE SEMINAR 2026 Mandatory training
DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountant Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nPRACTICAL ETHICS AND COMPLIANCE SEMINAR\nTheme: Enhancing professionalism and personal values for professional accountants\nDate: 13th – 17th April 2026\nTime: 9 am – 4 pm\nVenue: Enashipai\, Naivasha. \nThis is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration \nOVERVIEW \nAt its simplest\, ethics is a system of moral principles or rules that say what is and what is not acceptable. Ethics are largely described as the principles that guide a person’s behaviour while undertaking day to day activities. Occasionally\, in certain jurisdictions some ethical values get enacted as laws. Governing laws are structured rules utilized to govern a society whereas ethics are a set of moral values an individual establishes. Ethical behaviours apply to any employee\, team leader or supervisor. They should display a behaviour that is honest and fair in their relationship with their co-workers and clients. A culture of ethical businesses is vital to the success of any business. \nA leader who personifies ethical behaviour will be fair in all situations. In turn\, employees will trust their leadership team and aid in achievement of the organizational goals. Ethical behaviour includes honesty\, integrity\, fairness and a host of other positive traits. Businesses are expected to act in an ethically responsible manner\, carrying out its activities in a legal manner even when the business has nothing to benefit from being ethical. Professional ethics provides a means to solve certain ethical problems related to a particular profession. Professional ethics contain the ideals that govern the conduct of a professional or a group of them. This means that an ethical business will act in a socially responsible way\, doing what is right even if it is not required to do so by legislation or regulation\, and regardless of the impact it might have on profits. Professionals are required to practice reasonable\, responsible and transparent behaviour that consciously avoids harmful actions by embodying high ethical standards. \nProfessional ethics in business is paramount and more so in the accounting profession where the end user of information and services has to place trust in the professionals. Professional accountants are constantly faced with ethical dilemmas such as lack of independence in practice\, conflict of interest\, falsified financial reports\, and facilitating or receiving bribes etc however they are required to carry out their roles in a rational\, accountable and transparent manner by upholding high ethical standards to avoid unethical actions. \nConsequently\, the rise in ethical issues all over the world means that all professionals contribute to at least a percentage and even the most properly regulated professional bodies globally have developed a set of standards that have to be adhered to by the members. This explains the need for professional ethics and their application for members. It is in this context Institute has organized a two-day virtual workshop to explore the ethical considerations which are practically applicable in the workplace and as expected professionally. \nThe International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA) develops and promotes the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards). The IESBA also supports debate on issues related to accounting ethics and auditor independence. In 2018\, the IESBA issued a revised and restructured Code which came into effect in June 2019. The revised and restructured Code includes many substantive revisions\, including in relation to non-compliance with laws and regulations (NOCLAR). The 2018 version of the Code makes it clear that professional accountant\, in whatever capacity they are engaged\, cannot turn a blind eye to NOCLAR. The provisions in the Code\, including NOCLAR guide ethical behavior and help professional accountants uphold their responsibility to act in the public interest. The IESBA Code also includes a principles-based definition of what constitutes a network. The definition covers the way a group of companies operate and present themselves and is consistent with the Statutory Audit Directive. \nAll accountants are expected to subscribe to this code of ethics. With the growing necessity for patriotic and nationalistic individuals to step up to lead the country in every sector that they are involved in\, it is in this recognition that the Institute has organized for the Practical Ethics and Compliance Seminar to address: \nTOPICS \n\nOverview of the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants-Practical Application of International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants\nImportant ethical requirements that professional accountants should keep in mind:\n\n\nResponsibilities\nPublic Interest\nIntegrity\nObjectivity and Independence\nDue Care\nScope and Nature of Services\n\n\nEthical dilemmas for professional accountants in public and private sectors\nProfessional Ethics in Practice – Considerations for the Accountant\, personal values and ethical conduct for the professional accountant\nThe Corruption Challenge in Kenya and Ethical Perspectives-Lessons from the EACC on ethics for professionals and the fight against corruption\nAssessing the true cost of corruption and unethical behavior to the business\nPersonal values and ethical conduct for the professional accountant\nProfessional Misconduct and the Ethical Link – Insights from the ICPAK Disciplinary Committee\nBuilding an Ethical Organization and Capability Among Professionals\nRole of the accountant in sustainable governance\nEthical issues in the workplace/business\nEmerging issues and trends on ethics\, risk\, and reporting\nBroader view of board diversity to include ethnicity and race\nSetting up an effective internal controls’ framework in support of organizational ethics and integrity\nOrganisational Culture and its impact on ethics for professionals: Effective tone at the top in setting the right culture\nEthics and Leadership\n\n\nAccounting Professionals as an ethical role model and guardian of integrity\nIntegrating integrity into business strategy and corporate culture\nMobilizing people to make a positive change in the world and promote public values\nPractical approaches of reducing corporate failures\n\n\nDeveloping resilience- Mental health for professionals\n\nFINANCIAL COMMITMENT: \n\n\n\nCategory\nCharges Physical \n\n\nAssociate Members\nKes 54\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nFull Members\nKes. 59\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nNon-Member\nKes. 64\,000 per Delegate\n\n\nAccommodation\nDelegates are advised to make own travel and accommodation arrangements\n\n\n\n**Charges will cater for daytime meals\, conference giveaways\, learning materials\, and certificates of attendance.  \nCONTINUOUS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT UNITS \nMembers of ICPAK and other reciprocating professional bodies will earn 20 Structured CPD points upon successfully attending the 2026 Practical Ethics & Compliance Seminar. \nNATIONAL INDUSTRIAL TRAINING AUTHORITY (NITA) REIMBURSEMENT \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with National Industrial Training Authority.

SUMMARY:THE TAXATION MASTERCLASS 2026 EDITION 1 (mandatory training)
DESCRIPTION:INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nTHE TAXATION MASTERCLASS 2026 EDITION 1\nTheme: Strategic Tax Leadership for Compliance\, Efficiency & Sustainable Growth\nDate: 2nd – 6th March 2026\nTime: 09.00am-03.30pm\nVenue: Sawela Lodge\, Naivasha \nThis is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration \nOVERVIEW \nTaxation is a cornerstone of organizational governance\, regulatory compliance\, and strategic decision-making\, influencing virtually every facet of an organization’s operations. Beyond its primary function of generating revenue for governments\, taxation shapes corporate strategy\, guides financial planning\, and informs sustainability initiatives. For modern organizations\, effective tax management is not merely a compliance exercise but a critical element of strategic foresight. The current tax environment is highly dynamic\, with frequent legislative amendments\, increasingly sophisticated enforcement by tax authorities\, the rise of digital tax administration\, and the influence of international tax reforms creating both opportunities and risks. Professionals tasked with navigating these dynamics—be they accountants\, finance managers\, tax practitioners\, or auditors—must possess an in-depth understanding of domestic and international tax regimes\, proactive risk management techniques\, and practical strategies to optimize tax positions while maintaining compliance. \nThe modern tax landscape in Kenya and across the globe presents multifaceted challenges that require comprehensive knowledge and careful navigation. Organizations face complex obligations such as corporate income tax\, VAT\, excise duties\, transfer pricing rules\, digital service taxes\, and emerging environmental or ESG-linked tax initiatives. Simultaneously\, compliance demands adherence to ethical standards\, internal governance protocols\, and transparent reporting practices. Mismanagement of tax obligations can result not only in financial penalties and legal sanctions but also in reputational damage that undermines stakeholder trust. The interconnected nature of taxation with corporate governance and operational decisions means that the roles of tax professionals extend far beyond traditional bookkeeping and filing. They are called upon to anticipate regulatory changes\, interpret nuanced legislative provisions\, advise management on strategic tax matters\, and ensure that organizational tax practices align with broader business objectives and governance frameworks. \nAt the same time\, taxation is increasingly recognized as a strategic instrument for organizational growth and sustainability. Thoughtful tax planning\, aligned with both corporate strategy and environmental\, social\, and governance (ESG) objectives\, enables organizations to optimize resources\, leverage incentives\, and mitigate financial and operational risks. Tax professionals are expected to operate as strategic advisors\, moving beyond mere compliance reporting to interpret legislation\, provide guidance on cross-border and digital transactions\, and proactively engage with regulators to manage risk and unlock opportunities. Mastering these competencies requires a blend of technical expertise\, analytical acumen\, ethical judgment\, and strategic insight. Professionals must be capable of assessing complex tax scenarios\, modeling potential outcomes\, and integrating tax considerations into broader corporate decision-making. \nThe Taxation Masterclass is designed to respond to these multifarious demands by equipping participants with practical\, actionable skills and a deep understanding of the evolving tax environment. Through a structured curriculum combining technical instruction\, interactive discussions\, practical exercises\, and real-world case studies\, participants will engage with core topics such as corporate tax planning\, VAT and indirect tax compliance\, personal taxation\, international taxation\, transfer pricing\, tax audits\, dispute resolution\, and emerging trends in digital and ESG-linked taxes. The program emphasizes the integration of technology in tax administration\, highlighting how digital tools—such as e-filing systems\, data analytics platforms\, and automated compliance solutions—can enhance efficiency\, accuracy\, and strategic insight in tax management. By actively engaging with contemporary tax issues\, delegates will develop the confidence and expertise needed to anticipate challenges and implement best practices in their organizations. \nLeadership in taxation demands not only technical proficiency but also the ability to influence corporate decision-making and contribute meaningfully to organizational strategy. This Masterclass positions accountants and tax professionals as strategic partners who can align tax management with corporate objectives\, strengthen compliance\, and add tangible value to their organizations. Participants will learn to design and implement tax strategies that enhance long-term organizational performance\, mitigate risks\, and promote ethical\, transparent\, and accountable governance. By the end of the five-day program\, delegates will be equipped to navigate complex tax matters\, implement strategic tax solutions\, effectively engage with regulators\, and provide guidance that supports sustainable growth\, innovation\, and value creation. \nIn response to the evolving taxation landscape and the increasing strategic role of tax professionals\, ICPAK has organized this Masterclass to provide a robust platform for professional development\, peer exchange\, and practical learning. This program creates an avenue for participants to engage with experts\, explore real-world scenarios\, and apply best practices that are aligned with both domestic and international standards. By the conclusion of the training\, participants will possess the skills\, insights\, and strategic perspective necessary to manage complex tax environments\, optimize organizational tax outcomes\, ensure regulatory compliance\, and strengthen public trust through ethical and effective tax practice. \nDuring the masterclass the following areas will be covered:- \n\nRecent Developments in Tax Administration and compliance\nTransfer pricing\nTaxation of lumpsum amounts /Gratuity\nDeferred Taxation /Accounting\nCorporate and Income Taxes emerging trends\nSuccession planning and Trust

DESCRIPTION:THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA\n(Established under the Accountants Act\, Laws of Kenya) \nSUSTAINABILITY REPORTING – IFRS S1 & S2 WORKSHOP\nDATE: 2nd -6th March 2026\nTIME: 9:00 AM – 3:30 PM\nVenue: Safari Park Hotel & Casino\, Thika Road\, Nairobi \nTheme: From Standards to Statements: Practical Reporting under IFRS S1 & IFRS S2 \n(This is one of the mandatory trainings for Practicing Certificate consideration) \nOVERVIEW \nThe global corporate reporting landscape is undergoing a profound transformation as sustainability-related risks and opportunities increasingly affect enterprise value\, capital allocation\, and long-term business viability. Investors\, lenders\, regulators\, and other capital providers are no longer satisfied with high-level ESG narratives; they are demanding decision-useful\, comparable\, and verifiable sustainability information that is clearly connected to financial performance and position. \nIn response to this demand\, the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) issued IFRS S1 (General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information) and IFRS S2 (Climate-related Disclosures) to establish a global baseline for sustainability reporting that is investor-focused\, consistent\, and integrated with financial reporting. These standards reposition sustainability disclosures from stand-alone reports to an integral component of general-purpose financial reporting\, subject to governance\, controls\, and assurance expectations similar to those applied to financial statements. \nHowever\, despite growing awareness of IFRS S1 and S2\, many organizations face significant challenges in operationalizing the standards. Preparers often understand the conceptual requirements but struggle with practical questions such as: \n\nWhat constitutes a material sustainability-related risk or opportunity in their specific context?\nHow should governance\, strategy\, and risk management disclosures be written to avoid boilerplate language?\nWhich metrics and targets are appropriate\, reliable\, and defensible?\nHow can sustainability information be meaningfully connected to financial statements\, assumptions\, and judgments?\nHow should entities prepare disclosures that are assurance-ready and capable of withstanding regulatory and audit scrutiny?\n\nIn many cases\, existing ESG reports are narrative-heavy\, inconsistently structured\, and weakly linked to financial outcomes. This creates credibility risks\, exposes organizations to accusations of greenwashing\, and undermines the usefulness of sustainability information for decision-making. For emerging and developing markets in particular\, capacity constraints\, data limitations\, and evolving regulatory expectations further compound these challenges. \nThis workshop is designed to respond to that bridge that gap. By focusing on practical reporting application rather than standard-by-standard exposition\, it aims to equip participants with the tools\, frameworks\, and confidence required to prepare clear\, coherent\, and decision-useful sustainability disclosures aligned with IFRS S1 and S2. The workshop also recognizes sustainability reporting as a journey\, supporting participants in moving from initial compliance toward mature\, integrated\, and credible sustainability reporting practices. \nKey Topics \n\n\n\nDAY\nMODULE\nTOPICS\n\n\n\n\nDAY 1\nA.   Understanding the IFRS Sustainability Reporting Architecture\n·         The Need for Sustainability Reporting \n·         Purpose and scope of IFRS S1 and S2 \n·         Position of sustainability disclosures within general-purpose financial reporting \n·         Relationship between IFRS Sustainability Standards and financial statements \n·         Transition from voluntary ESG reports to regulated disclosures \n·         Implications for preparers\, boards\, and auditors\n\n\nB.   Identifying Material Sustainability-related Risks and Opportunities\n·         Definition of sustainability-related risks and opportunities under IFRS S1 \n·         Financial materiality vs impact materiality \n·         Practical approaches to identifying material topics \n·         Use of value chain analysis in materiality assessment \n·         Documentation and governance of materiality judgments\n\n\nC.   Reporting Governance\, Strategy\, and Risk Management\n·         Governance disclosures: roles of the board and management \n·         Linking sustainability risks and opportunities to strategy \n·         Integrating sustainability into enterprise risk management (ERM) \n·         Avoiding boilerplate disclosures \n·         Examples of strong vs weak IFRS S1 governance narratives \n \n\n\nDAY 2\nD.   Selecting and Reporting Sustainability Metrics\n·         Principles for selecting appropriate metrics \n·         Industry-based disclosures and use of SASB standards \n·         Quantitative vs qualitative metrics \n·         Data sources\, assumptions\, and estimation uncertainty \n·         Ensuring consistency and comparability \n·\n\n\nE.     Scenario Analysis\n·         Purpose and Benefits of Scenario Analysis \n·         Types of Scenarios \n·         Resilience Assessment \n·         Integration into Strategic Planning \n·         Disclosure Expectations under IFRS S2 \n·         Governance of Scenario Analysis \n·         Challenges and Best Practices \n \n\n\nF.   GHG Accounting\n·         Cross-industry climate metrics \n·         Introduction to GHG Emissions \n·         Climate-Related Financial Risk and GHG Emissions \n·         GHG disclosure \n·         GHG key concepts \n·         GHG measurements \n·         Disaggregation of GHG emissions. \n \n\n\n \nG.   Connectivity Between Sustainability and Financial Reporting\n·         Linking sustainability risks to financial impacts \n·         Implications for revenue\, costs\, assets\, liabilities\, and provisions \n·         Consistency between sustainability disclosures and management commentary \n·         Avoiding contradictions between ESG reports and financial statements \n·         Preparing for assurance and audit scrutiny\n\n\n \nH.   Climate-related Risks and Opportunities under IFRS S2\n·         Physical vs transition climate risks \n·         Short-\, medium-\, and long-term climate impacts \n·         Identifying climate-related opportunities \n·         Value chain and geographic considerations \n·         Climate-related targets and transition plans \n \n\n\n \nI.     Preparing a Coherent IFRS S1 & S2–Aligned Report\n·         Structuring sustainability disclosures \n·         Integrating IFRS S1 and S2 requirements coherently \n·         Avoiding duplication across reports \n·         Readiness for assurance and regulatory review \n·         Roadmap for continuous improvement and year-on-year enhancement\n\n\n\n  \nTARGET AUDIENCE: \nThis training will be useful to all professional Accountants and professionals from all relevant cross-cutting disciplines since sustainability reporting and the IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards are professional agnostic. \nCPD UNITS \nMembers who attend the workshop  in full will earn 20 Structured CPD Units. \nFINANCIAL COMMITMENT: \n\n\n\nCategory\nCharges Physical \nVirtual \n\n\nAssociate Members\nKes. 54\,000 per Delegate\nKes. 25\,000\n\n\nFull Members\nKes. 59\,000 per Delegate\nKes. 25\,000\n\n\nNon-Member\nKes. 64\,000 per Delegate\nKes. 25\,000\n\n\n\nCharges will cater for stationery\, daytime meals\, learning and giveaway materials\, online video access fees\, learning materials\, and e-certificates of attendance. \nONLINE BOOKING: \nWe call on Seminar participants to note that booking for is available only online at www.icpak.com/events  and will close two hours before the training session.  Delegates are reminded to note that online booking for training sessions is mandatory \nNATIONAL INDUSTRIAL TRAINING AUTHORITY (NITA) REIMBURSEMENT \nThe Institute is registered as a trainer with National Industrial Training Authority (formerly Department of Industrial Training -DIT).
