Most of the legislation in the Länder governing continuing education stipulates the qualification requirements demanded of the teaching staff. According to a resolution adopted by the Standing Conference of the Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs (Kultusministerkonferenz) in 1970, members of administrative and teaching staff at institutions of continuing education are supposed to have a higher education degree. Assistant tutors must have acquired a higher education degree, a further qualification in a profession (Fachschulabschluss) or a vocational training qualification plus several years of practical experience.
