Rift Valley Institute of Business Studies Tourism Course: Fees, Duration and What Students Should Know
The RVIBS fee structure gives prospective students a useful snapshot of the Diploma in Tourism and Travelling Management programme. The document indicates a seven-term programme, with listed charges of KSh 24,600 per term, translating to KSh 172,200 across seven terms if the same fee applies throughout. For Kenyan students interested in tourism, travel and hospitality-related careers, the next step should be to look beyond the headline fee and understand the admission requirements, practical training, examination arrangements, industrial attachment and any additional costs. Most importantly, students should verify the latest information directly with the institution before enrolling or sending fees, since fee structures and programme arrangements can change.
