In addition to the full-time
staff complement, the College employs numerous part-time workers, such as
Tutors, Course Writers, Content Editors, Tutor Markers and Casual/ Contract
Appointments to carry out specific functions in support of its educational
programmes (see Table 4.2).
During 2004, a total number of 799 Tutors and 110 Centre Heads were employed on
a part-time basis to provide tutorial support and administer NAMCOL centres. For
the most part, these Tutors and Centre Heads are drawn from the ranks of
professional teachers, who made their services available outside of normal
working hours. Where there are no teachers in an area who are qualified and
experienced in teaching a particular subject, an experienced professional or
University graduate is employed.

The College does not own physical facilities, apart from the Yetu Yama Centre in
Katutura. However, NAMCOL utilises schools after hours for contact tutorials and
during vacation periods for vacation workshops. In 2004 there were 95 Tutorial
Centres from a total of number of 110 Enrolment Points
A minimum of three class groups, each with an average of thirty subject
enrolments, is required before a Tutorial Centre can be established. Normally,
when the number of enrolments for a particular subject exceeds sixty, the
learners are split into two class groups. Table 4.3, below, provides information
on the number of Tutorial Centres and class groups for the 2004 academic year.
On average, there were 12 class groups per centre.
