“Sensei is not just training — we are building creators, builders, innovators. We are powering Africa’s workforce, MD, Sensei College.”
— John Kang’ethe
🔨 From Building Roads to Building Futures
Before he was an education pacesetter, John Kang’ethe was just a man on a mission to build better roads.
As the founder of Sensei Limited, a civil construction company, he constantly ran into one major problem: his workers couldn’t operate machinery or handle tools confidently. Instead of complaining, he built a solution.
“I started training my team — not in a classroom, but right on the job,” he recalls with a smile.
That spark would ignite a revolution.
In 2013, Sensei Institute of Technology was born — from a construction yard with one student and one machine to a nationally celebrated institution with thousands of graduates and two buzzing campuses.
A Vision Fueled by Passion
“What if technical training was fun, hands-on, and life-changing?”
That question still drives Sensei’s model today. And the answer is: absolutely yes!
Sensei’s approach flips traditional learning on its head:
90% Practical. 10% Theory. 100% Life Skills.
Whether it’s operating excavators, designing graphics, installing solar panels, or fixing trucks, students at Sensei are immersed in real-world experiences from Day One.
