Your exams are remarked and if this time round you pass, you are entitled to a 15% refund of the remarking fee. Although the fee is paid prior to remarking – otherwise, nothing will be taken seriously.
- Reading Lists
You can as well access the reading lists on the KASNEB portal. These lists include links mostly on the left of the page on the website.
The links are for all the courses that KASNEB offers to its candidates. If you click on any of the links (you definitely need to click on the course you are undertaking), you will open a PDF to the list of books you can read.
The list of resources for that particular course has all the reading materials. So, in case you don’t find the specific e-book on the portal, you can always look for the books in libraries and bookshops.

Click on it and you will be able to see your results online. You can also download your results slip in case you require it at that time.
The other option to get results is through sending your registration number to 20558. A service charge of KShs.10 will be imposed.
That should be something like this: KASNEB/nac/68145 and send to 20558. Ensure that the line you are using is a Safaricom sim card.
- Find out the Expected Code of Conduct
One of the key things to strive to understand as a new student attached to KASNEB is the code of conduct. Fortunately, the rules and regulations of the body are well stipulated on the student portal.
These rules pertain to the registration and administering of the examinations, documentation among other key requirements.
For example, no student should provide falsified information while submitting their documentation. Additionally, bad student behavior and cheating in exams are serious offenses for a KASNEB candidate that may lead to disqualification from the respective program.
