Consulting training framework
A framework enables an organisation to position courses within a progressive training structure. It can put training into context; contribute to a recognised formal qualification; enhance motivation to participate; and facilitate the transfer of training into performance back at work. The framework that we use for consultant training is shown here.
Many practices use this framework as a starting point for developing their own consulting training framework. Alternatively, we can help you to develop one. Contact us.

What our clients say
"Thanks once again for a really strong program, which exceeded my otherwise high expectations.
"We used your techniques and advice learnt on the course to guide us (both in the sales process and throughout the project) and it has been a resounding success!
"It is the first course I’ve attended in a long time where the pitch/pace of the course felt right. The course was sufficiently interactive and interesting enough to retain my interest/attention. In fact, it was a surprise when breaks and lunch were announced.
