9.9Continuing professional development for teachers and trainers working in adult education and training

Last update: 14 February 2025

Teachers working in schools for adults and other adult education institutions within the school education system have to comply with the same regulations and take part in CPD under the same conditions as teachers in schools for children and young people and other institutions within the school education system. See Chapter 9.3 ‘Continuing professional development for teachers working in early childhood and school education’.

Entities providing adult education as part of their economic or training activity, outside the school education system, are free to adopt their own regulations for professional development of their staff / trainers. However, such entities can apply, on a voluntary basis, for accreditation to be awarded by the Head of the Regional Education Authorities (kurator oświaty), in accordance with the Regulation of the Minister of National Education of 6 October 2023 on the accreditation of continuing education in non-school settings (rozporządzenie Ministra Edukacji i Nauki z dnia 6 października 2023 r. w sprawie kształcenia ustawicznego w formach pozaszkolnych_. See Chapter 11.3 'Quality assurance in adult education and training’.
