INSTRUCTORS (TVET PROGRAM) – TRANSPORT, OPERATIONS AND LOGISTICS LEVEL 2 & 3 – Namibia Institute of Professional Innovation

You typically need a relevant diploma or degree in logistics, transport management, or supply chain, plus a teaching qualification such as a TVET instructor certificate from NTA or UNAM. Industry experience in logistics or transport operations is highly valued. Some institutions may accept extensive practical experience combined with professional certifications like CILT or SAPICS.

You will prepare and deliver lessons for Level 2 and 3 students, assess practical and theoretical competencies, and maintain training records aligned with NTA standards. Daily tasks include supervising workshop sessions, coordinating industry placements, and updating curriculum materials to match sector needs. Administrative duties such as marking, reporting, and attending staff meetings are also expected.

TVET institutions emphasize structured academic calendars with term breaks, whereas private logistics roles often demand irregular hours including weekends. Collegial decision-making and adherence to government procedures are common in public TVET colleges. Punctuality and professional boundaries with students are strictly expected in Namibian educational settings.

Instructors can advance to senior lecturer, department head, or curriculum developer roles within their institution. Some transition to NTA as assessors or verifiers, while others move into private training consultancy or policy advisory positions. Further academic qualifications, such as a master's degree, significantly improve promotion prospects in the Namibian education sector.

Public and established private institutions usually provide pension contributions through GIPF or private schemes, medical aid subsidies, and generous annual leave aligned with school terms. Professional development allowances and study leave for further qualifications are increasingly common. Specific benefits vary by employer type and funding source.

Submit applications through institutional HR portals or the Public Service Commission for government colleges, including certified copies of qualifications, police clearance, and detailed proof of industry experience. Employers prioritize candidates with dual competence—both subject expertise and teaching capability—plus familiarity with Namibia's NQF and competency-based assessment methods. Strong references from previous employers or training providers strengthen your application considerably.
