Institute Overview

The Ifula Technical Training Institute is a pioneering technical training institute dedicated to transforming the poultry production landscape through education and skill development. Located in Kakamega county, Lugari sub county, Western Kenya, our institute serves as a hub for aspiring poultry farmers, agricultural professionals, and anyone interested in advancing their knowledge in this vital sector. With a focus on sustainability, innovation, and practical experience, we aim to equip our students with the necessary tools to thrive in the poultry industry.

At the core of our institute is the belief that education is the foundation for success in agriculture. Poultry production is not only a crucial component of food security but also an avenue for economic development in many communities. Our comprehensive curriculum covers all aspects of poultry farming, including poultry biology, nutrition, health management, biosecurity, breeding, and business management. By offering a well-rounded education, we prepare our students to face the challenges and opportunities in modern poultry farming.

One of our distinguishing features is our emphasis on hands-on training. Students will have the opportunity to engage in practical sessions at our on-site training farm, where they can apply theoretical knowledge in real-world scenarios. This experiential learning approach ensures that graduates are not only knowledgeable but also confident in their skills. Our training facilities are equipped with the latest technology and tools, allowing students to experience best practices in a controlled environment.

Sustainability is a core value of our institute. We understand the pressing need for environmentally friendly practices in agriculture. Our programs include training on sustainable farming methods, waste management, and the ethical treatment of animals. We believe that responsible poultry production is key to ensuring long-term food security and environmental health.

In addition to our training programs, The Ifula Technical Training Institute fosters a community of learning and collaboration. We actively engage with local farmers, industry experts, and agricultural organizations to create a network of support for our students. Through workshops, seminars, and community events, we aim to build a strong agricultural community that promotes knowledge sharing and collective growth.

Our mission extends beyond the classroom. We are committed to ongoing support for our graduates, offering resources for career placement, mentorship, and continuous education. We believe that education is a lifelong journey, and we strive to empower our alumni to become leaders in the poultry sector.

We also offer Education technology course, it is  often referred to as EdTech, is a course of study that focuses on the integration of technology into educational practices. This field explores how various technologies can enhance teaching and learning experiences in both traditional and online educational settings. Topics covered in education technologies courses may include the use of digital tools for instruction, such as Learning Management Systems (LMS), virtual reality, gamification, and interactive whiteboards.
