How To Apply For TSC Swap Transfer
Thanks to the Teacher’s Service Commission (TSC) taking strides to digitize most of their services, making teachers’ transfers as easy as pie.
First, you need to get a suitable swap mate.
If you’re a high school teacher, you need to find someone teaching the same subjects as you in the location you want to transfer to.
They should be willing to come to your current station as well.
If you’re in primary, you simply need to find a colleague willing to transfer to your current station from the station you want to move to. —that’s the essence of a TSC Swap
Once you’re both ready with your swap mate, the process gets easier and you’re almost there.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you breeze through your TSC swap application online.
- Begin by hopping over to the TSC website at http://www.tsc.go.ke. Look for the ‘online services’ tab and select ‘Teacher Transfer’.
- Next, key in your credentials – TSC number, ID number, and phone number, then hit the ‘login’ button. You’ll receive a six-digit authorization code on your mobile, which you’ll need to paste in and login.

- In the case of SWAP, you need to include the details of the teacher you wish to swap with. A screenshot of their application printout will do fine as a supporting document. You can even have them write a letter, signed by the HOI as you get the same as well to prove you’re both committed to swapping.
- Attaching files is straightforward. Click ‘browse’, select your documents, type your remarks, and finalize by clicking ‘Ok’. You can preview or remove the attachments if needed.
