Summary/Abstract: Organisations/institutions for adult education, whether publioc or private, were among the first ones to enter the education market. Therefore, they need to create conditions for efficient education process and efficient business practices, hence to fight for quality assurance respectively quality management. From the viewpoint of quality assurance in education, the key question is how well are they prepared to tackle the market determind by quality, regarding management resources. Only those organisations which are able to manage quality and meet quality standards according to users' needs, will persist on the education market. Today, several quality management models are being apllied in adult education organisations Europe. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, as in our entire region, models of education quality mangement are primarily subject to theoretical discussions, while in the education practice there are still no attempts to apply some of those models. Based on critical elaboration and empirical research of applicability of the eduQua model, we intended to point out the possibilities of eduQua quality standard introduction in adult education organisations, and to define recommendations and guidelines for quality assurance in adult education organizations in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Research results show that it is not possible to fully apply the standars of eduQua model in our conditions, but they enabled us to frame recommendations and guidelines for quality assurance in organizations for adult education in BiH.
