Counselling activities of Guidance Centres for Adult Education in September this year, entered the tenth year of operation. The basic concept of operations, providing free of charge "educational counselling work" in partnership with various orga- nizations in the environment in all phases of the educational process, from decision to completion of education or learning, remains unchanged. But guidance centres are developing new content in counselling approaches, new partnerships, new promotional activities, etc. In particular, to increase access to guidance and education to vulnerable groups of adults, groups with less or no access to education and training. To ensure comprehensive and quality counselling activities, the appropriate knowledge and skills of the counsellors are the key element. For the counsellors in the network of 14 Slovenian Guidance Centres basic training and continuous professional training develops and carries out the Slovenian Institute for Adult Education in cooperation with their professional colleagues and external domestic and foreign experts. Training includes a complex and interdisciplinary knowledge and skills on all aspects of adult education and learning in modern so- ciety and about the counselling process. Each of these areas covers a number of tasks performed by counsellors in guidance centres derived, as well as newly developed, as presented in the paper.Svetovalna dejavnost v svetovalnih središčih za izobraževanje odraslih je septembra letos vstopila v deseto leto delovanja. Temeljni koncept dejavnosti, zagotavljanje brezplačnega »andragoškega svetovalnega dela« v partnerskem sodelovanju z različnimi organizacijami v okolju v vseh fazah izobraževalnega procesa, od odločanja do zaključka izobraževanja ali učenja, ostaja nespremenjen. Razvija pa se nova vsebina v pristopih svetovalnega dela, novih partnerskih povezavah, novih promocijskih aktivnostih idr., še posebno, da bi povečali dostop do svetovanja in izobraževanja ranljivim skupinam odraslih, skupinam, ki se zaradi različnih oblik oviranosti manj pogosto ali celo nikoli ne vključijo v izobraževanje. Za zagotavljanje celovite in kakovostne svetovalne dejavnosti pa je ključna ustrezna usposobljenost svetovalcev v svetovalnih središčih. Za svetovalce v mreži 14 slovenskih svetovalnih središč temeljno usposabljanje in stalno strokovno spopolnjevanje razvija in izvaja Andragoški center Slovenije v sodelovanju s svojimi strokovnimi sodelavci in zunanjimi domačimi, pa tudi tujimi strokovnjaki. Usposabljanja vključujejo kompleksna in interdisciplinarna znanja ter spretnosti o vseh vidikih izobraževanja in učenja odraslih v sodobni družbi ter o vodenju svetovalnega procesa. Vsako od teh dveh področij zajema številne naloge, ki jih opravljajo svetovalci v svetovalnih središčih, pa tudi na novo razvijajo, kar predstavljamo v prispevku
