An existing driving record/experience, depending on NTSA's current class progression rules
NTSA-registered commercial driving school training
Passed theory and practical test for the relevant vehicle category

Endorsement vs Fresh Application

If you already hold a Class B licence and are simply adding Class C, you'll typically pay the lower Ksh. 600 endorsement fee plus the test fee rather than the full provisional licence and issuance process — a meaningfully cheaper path than starting from scratch. Class C sits at the boundary between private and commercial driving, and Kenyan driving schools generally charge more for this training than Class B (often Ksh. 15,000 and up) — budget for that training cost alongside the standardised government fees.
