AIM
We created the role of quality counsellor with the aim of:
- Convincing educational organisations to train a person with expert knowledge in this field;
- Training this person to counsel other employees and promote and coordinate the work of his/her co-workers when it comes to evaluating and developing quality;
- Training the person to counsel the management of the organisation regarding questions of quality.
We established the quality counsellors’ network to enable professional connection and exchange of good practices and experiences of operating quality counsellors.
The conceptual design of the counselling network and the role of the counsellors was developed by the Slovenian Institute for Adult Education, which is also in charge of basic and additional training of the counsellors. The SIAE is also the professional coordinator of the network.
DESCRIPTION
To become an adult education quality counsellor, one must successfully complete the programme of basic training for quality development counsellors in adult education, offered by the Slovenian Institute of Adult Education.

The educational organisation appoints a quality counsellor who meets the set criteria. The title of the counsellor is Adult Education Quality Counsellor in an Educational Organisation and, as the name suggests, such a counsellor in not merely trained but also actively works in the field (at least 32 hours per month).
Quality counsellors who meet all the criteria become part of the national network of quality counsellors.
ACTIVITIES
Since 2006, the SIAE has had the role of national coordinator of the professional network of quality counsellors. We also take care of basic and additional training of working quality counsellors. We offer them professional support and guidance for different activities related to evaluation and development of quality in their organisations.
