Nyandarua National Polytechnic (NyNP) was started as a public technical training institution through an initiative from the local community and leaders. The land was donated by the KARI . It was and Still the only public technical institution offering technical training in the entire Nyandarua County. Through a major funds drive in the 90's, the first one story building was erected. Members of parliament from the various Constituencies in Nyandarua County came together and through the CDF completed the project. Consequently, the first Batch of Students were admitted in 2006. Since then the polytechnic has grown and now has a student population of over 1,500 students.
A multi-million modern ESP Complex consisting of Workshops, Lecture Rooms, Offices has been completed, and Currently a multi-million modern library is under construction. There are four computer laboratories with a total 130 computers. There are also workshops that are well equipped for Automotive, Electrical, Mechanical and Building related courses.
