Summary/Abstract: The study presents the results of surveying the opinion of career advisors about selected aspects of functioning of the lifelong education in the Wałbrzych sub-region. Ordinal scales and fuzzy numbers were applied in the measurement of the advisors' opinion. Such an approach allowed to take into account the ambiguity and the inaccuracy in the replies provided by the respondents. The analysis of the responses enabled to work out the ranking of the importance of the factors associated with the development of the lifelong education in the Wałbrzych sub-region and to make an appraisal of these factors. The study also identifies the future – according to career advisors – directions of the lifelong education in this sub-region and the scope of trainings which could improve the quality and the effectiveness of the advisory process conducted by career advisors.
