HEAD OF TRAINING AND ASSESSMENT COORDINATOR – Flexona Organizational Services Cc

A bachelor's degree in Education, Human Resource Management, or a related field is usually required, along with formal accreditation from the Namibia Qualifications Authority (NQA) or recognition by the Namibian Training Authority (NTA). Relevant professional certifications such as the NTA-endorsed Assessor or Moderator qualifications, or international equivalents like CIPD or ATD credentials, are highly valued by employers in the education and training sector.

Day-to-day responsibilities include designing and reviewing competency-based training programmes aligned with NQF Level 4–6 standards, coordinating internal and external assessors, and ensuring compliance with NTA and OQSF requirements. You’ll also conduct workplace assessments, manage learner records via the NTA’s e-portal, and liaise with industry stakeholders across Windhoek, Walvis Bay, and regional centres.

Namibian workplaces value respect for hierarchy, strong interpersonal communication, and cultural sensitivity—especially when engaging with diverse ethnic groups and rural communities. Punctuality, reliability, and community-oriented service delivery are expected, and coordinators often balance formal processes with flexible, relationship-driven approaches to support learners and employers across varied geographic and socio-economic contexts.

With experience, professionals often advance to roles such as NTA Regional Manager, Chief Training Officer in larger TVET institutions, or independent NQF consultancy. Some transition into policy advisory positions with the Ministry of Higher Education, Training and Innovation or pursue academic pathways through UNAM’s postgraduate education programmes, supported by NQF-aligned credit accumulation.

Standard benefits typically include 22 days of annual leave, statutory sick leave, and participation in a registered medical aid scheme—often with employer contributions. Most reputable employers also offer pension or provident fund membership compliant with the Pension Funds Act, and some provide professional development allowances for NTA-accredited refresher courses or moderation workshops.
