The Kenya Institute of Mass Communication (KIMC) was established in 1961 and was named the then Voice of Kenya Training School.

Its main purpose was to train electronic engineering and technicians for the then, Kenya Broadcasting Service (KBS), which was later rebranded in 1962 as the Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (KBC). KBC was then nationalized in 1964 and changed its brand to Voice of Kenya (VOK). Nationalization occasioned the departure of expatriates who worked at the broadcaster, creating an urgent need for qualified manpower to fill the vacant positions. In 1965, the new Voice of Kenya acquired a grant to start what became to be known as the Voice of Kenya Training School.

The institution was also to serve the Ministry of Information which equally lacked qualified journalists, program producers, announcers and other cadres relevant in the field of mass communication. Training programs started from a humble wooden structure near the Kenyatta National Hospital. During the 1967/68 financial year, the institute was funded to construct a mass Media Communication Training institute in South – B Area (Mariakani) and the Institute named Kenya Institute of Mass Communication. Construction work commenced in October 1967 and the first batch of trainees was transferred from the VOK Training School in November 1968 to complete their studies at the new institute.
