Background
The history of the Buruuj Training Institute (BTI) dates back to July 2006, when its predecessor, the TJ Computer College, commenced Training in Sotik Town, Bomet County.
In 2008, TJ computer college relocated to Nairobi. In 2015, it started offering Strategic Management and Islamic Finance Training with a bias towards short term courses targeting corporates.
The growing demand for training by institutions gave rise to the Buruuj Training Institute (BTI), whose objective was to reach out to a broader audience mainly through Open, Distance, and eLearning (ODeL).
