Choosing and Using External Consultants is for anyone who has the task of selecting an external consultant - whether you're new to the field of training or an experienced trainer yourself. Outsourcing training is a challenge: you have to be clear about what your organisation wants, and you have to ensure your consultant knows what you want. This toolkit covers the complete process from both of these perspectives, so you've got expert guidance and advice, whichever way you look. And the professionalism with which you organise the outsourced training project will enhance your reputation within your organisation, and with your consultant.
Practical tools and checklists will guide you through the entire process: from establishing the training need, writing a detailed specification, recruiting the most appropriate consultant, managing the design, planning and delivery of the training, through to evaluating and reviewing the programme and your consultant
