The Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA) has announced the resumption of examinations after a temporary suspension that was put in place to allow for a system upgrade.
In a statement on Wednesday, September 24, KCAA Director General Emile Arao explained that candidates affected during the suspension period had already been rescheduled and new dates assigned.
"Kenya Civil Aviation Authority wishes to update candidates and stakeholders on the resumption of examinations following the temporary suspension to allow for a system upgrade.
"All candidates whose bookings were cancelled during the suspension have been contacted and rescheduled, with new examination dates commencing on Tuesday, 23rd September 2025.
"Candidates with pending bookings without invoices have also been contacted, rescheduled and their invoices are currently being processed," he said.

Arao also addressed the progress of the new automated system, noting that while it has not yet gone live, candidates will continue accessing services through manual bookings.
"While the booking process was expected to transition to the automated system, the process has not yet gone live.
"ICT is finalizing the system upgrade and will advise on a launch date. In the interim, manual booking will continue to ensure uninterrupted service to candidates," he added.
This comes weeks after the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) cautioned the public against fake examination papers circulating on social media platforms ahead of the national examinations.
In a statement released on Friday, September 5, the examination body dismissed several purported examination papers being shared online as fraudulent and urged Kenyans to remain vigilant against such misleading content.
"Please take note that these question papers doing the rounds on social media are not from KNEC. Do NOT be deceived! Stay alert!" KNEC warned.
The fake examination papers bore the official KNEC logo and formatting and were designed to mimic authentic examination documents.
The fraudulent materials included what appeared to be KJSEA English (Grade 9 KJSEA-2025) papers, Mathematics examination papers also labeled as Grade 9 KJSEA-2025, KJSEA Christian Religious Education coded as 908-2025, and KJSEA Kiswahili papers marked as Msimbo 902-2025.
The papers contained detailed examination structures, marking schemes, and question formats that closely resembled genuine KNEC examination papers, potentially confusing unsuspecting students and educators.
