Schools for adults, stage II sectoral vocational schools and institutions providing adult education in non-school settings within the school education system are subject to pedagogical supervision, which includes inspections. Like in school education for children and young people, internal pedagogical supervision, including inspections or audits, in adult education is the responsibility of the head of a school or another adult education institution. Inspectors working in the Regional Education Authorities (kuratorium oświaty) or other pedagogical supervision bodies conduct inspections as part of external pedagogical supervision. For qualification requirements, conditions of service and responsibilities of heads and inspectors in quality monitoring, see Chapter 9.2 ‘Staff involved in monitoring educational quality for early childhood and school education’.

Schools and other institutions providing adult education within the school education system employ teachers-careers advisers. Qualifications requirements for these specialists and their responsibilities are discussed in Chapter 9.3 ‘Education staff responsible for guidance in early childhood and school education’.

Entities providing adult education outside the school education system, as part of economic activity or labour-market training activity, are free to establish qualification requirements, recruitment procedures, conditions of service (within the framework set by the general labour laws) and responsibilities for all staff categories in their internal regulations. However, if such an entity applies, on a voluntary basis, for accreditation to the Head of the Regional Education Authorities, it should demonstrate that it has employed qualified staff; see Chapter 10.3 ‘Quality assurance in adult education and training’.
