In the processes of the OQEA model implementation into an educational organisation the groups for quality participate in training and counselling workshops, organised and carried out by the Slovenian Institute for Adult Education with the help of some external experts.
 
The basic purpose of the educational workshops is to provide the group members with the knowledge they need to co-ordinate the processes of self-evaluation and quality improvement implementation. The contents of training is divided into learning about self-evaluation, goals, method and procedures, and development of knowledge and skills they will need to work with people as the holders of valuation and quality development in working collectives. The contents of the educational workshops are covered in approximately 80 hours, divided into the first and the second year of participation in the project.
 
About the same amount of time (80 hours) is dedicated to group counselling in the form of workshops. The members of the groups for quality are offered counselling during individual planning and execution phases of self-evaluation, on how to carry out each process. They are also offered counselling in assessing achievements and items they prepare during individual phases.
 
Besides that, individual counselling is available for each group for quality, individual members of such groups, individual working collectives when questions arise during the process of self-evaluation execution, that the participants cannot solve by themselves. This form of counselling is conducted via e-mail and telephone, and also by visits of the SIAE staff in individual educational organisation.
