Becoming an independent consultant

Consultancy Skills Training, an IMC registered practice, is offering a course for people considering a career as an independent consultant.

Seminars are scheduled for 28 October and 20 January in London. Managing director of CST, Calvert Markham, estimates that there are up to 10,000 management consultants working as sole practitioners in the UK. “It can be a viable and enjoyable option, but it is not neccessarily right for everyone. These seminars will help people decide whether to make the move.” For further information contact 0181 642 2313. The IMC offers a career guide for prospective consultants at a cost of #4.50. Please contact the IMC 0171 242 2140.
