IT Training Consultancy


IT Training Consultancy Services

We provide IT Training Consultancy services for organisations looking to set up, improve or audit an in-house training service or department.

Knowing where to start with the design of an IT training programme can be a real challenge. You may know what you need to do, but don’t currently have the resources to undertake the task. Or you might have a training team in place but would benefit from collaborating with an outside expert to ensure that everyone is on the right path. Either way, our consultancy services give you the support you need.

Training isn’t just about delivery of the course itself. A lot of planning is required to design and implement a training programme that will equip your team with the skills they need. With our many years’ experience in IT training consultancy we can provide the expertise to make the process simple and efficient.

From understanding your people’s current skills to establishing their development needs, getting them enthused for change and implementing the training, we can help.

Consultancy services we offer include:

  • Review your current training programme
  • Undertake a training needs analysis
  • Design a training syllabus
  • Instigate a change management plan
  • Train the trainer
  • Develop an engagement strategy
  • Establish feedback mechanisms
