In the practice of adult education, we face varied situations; some educational organisations have a systemized job position for head of adult education or adult education organiser. Others do not have such a systemized job position, but they have a person(s) engaged in the management, i.e. organisation, of adult education.

In the competence scheme, we have therefore included duties and tasks related to the entire andragogical cycle. Given the great diversity of educational institution types, we allow each educational organisation to autonomously assess from this basic set of duties and tasks related to adult education management and organisation whether it needs both a job position for a head of adult education and adult education organiser or if these diverse tasks can be combined in a single job position.
