How Delight Supports Students With Diverse Needs and Backgrounds

By Delight Technical College | Student Welfare & Inclusion | 2026

 

Delight Technical College is built on a conviction that creative talent and the capacity to learn are distributed across all people regardless of background, ability, age, gender, economic status, or educational history. Our commitment to inclusivity is not merely aspirational, it is reflected in the practical structures, support systems, and policies that govern how we operate. Here is how Delight supports students with diverse needs and backgrounds.

🌍 Open and Accessible Entry Requirements

Delight’s flexible entry requirements are the first expression of its commitment to inclusivity. The Trade Test requires only basic literacy ensuring that people who did not excel academically, or who did not complete secondary school, have a genuine pathway into quality creative education.

 

💰 Financial Accessibility

Financial barriers are one of the most significant obstacles to education. Delight addresses this through:

• Monthly payment options- no requirement to pay full fees upfront
• Bulk payment discounts- rewarding those who can plan ahead
• Bursary support for students who face genuine financial hardship
• The Modelling Club option- an affordable programme at KES 5,000/month for those with very limited budgets
• Multiple study modes- including part-time and evening options for those who must work while studying

 

🏠 Geographic Accessibility

Not every student can attend campus regularly. Delight addresses geographic barriers through:

• Home Schooling mode enabling students from across Kenya, East Africa, and beyond to access Delight’s qualifications
• Online learning components- supplementing in-person study for remote students
• Hostel support guidance- helping students from outside Nairobi find safe, affordable accommodation

 

♿ Supporting Students With Disabilities

Delight is committed to making reasonable adjustments to support students with disabilities — including:

• Assessment accommodations- additional time, alternative formats, or adapted submission methods
• Physical accessibility- ensuring campus facilities are accessible
• Individualised learning support- additional tutor time and adapted learning materials where needed
• Peer support- connecting students with supportive peers and community resources

 

🧠 Supporting Students With Different Learning Needs

Not all students learn in the same way or at the same pace. Delight’s small class sizes and personalised mentorship approach means:

• Tutors identify and respond to individual learning styles
• Students who progress faster can be challenged with advanced work
• Students who need more time receive additional support without penalty
• The practical, hands-on CBET approach often suits students who struggle with purely academic learning

 

🌟 Age and Gender Inclusivity

Delight welcomes students of all ages from school leavers to mature learners returning to education. Women are strongly represented across both schools, and Delight actively welcomes and supports female students in technology and media programmes that have traditionally been male-dominated.

“Creative talent does not come in one shape, size, background, or history. At Delight, we welcome all of them because great creativity can come from anyone.”
