Leap into Consulting review

"The Leap into Consulting programme was a great way to meet likeminded people looking to make the jump from consultancy. It made me think about things I had not even thought about before.

The modules I have done have been super thought provoking and helps really drill down into the details of creating my HR consulting business. I am looking forward to completing the modules. I also now have the book which pulls everything together and it’s so easy to read".

Leap into Consulting review

"I joined this HR programme just after I had been made redundant from my role in the corporate world. I was looking for something to give me the motivation to turn my ideas of being a HR Consultant into actions. Prior to this I had been procrastinating or taking a "leap" and then stepping backwards for a few years into the corporate world. By joining this bootcamp, I was able to meet new people on the same journey as me who were going through the highs and lows. I found motivation through sharing ideas and networking along the way and actually designing my company logo and website. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking to go down this path. Take a leap and go for it !"

Invaluable Experience

"As someone who is transitioning between the corporate world of work, to become an independent HR Consultant, with a greater work life balance, Sarah's Leap into Consulting programme put me in the right frame of mind, along with providing me with invaluable information and guidance to equip me to make the move. Along with all of the new information and knowledge that I have obtained, I've also made some great new friendships, and have a lasting support network, which is essential when going it alone. I can whole-heartedly recommend the programme, for those thinking of taking the leap".

Not exclusively but usually HR Managers, HR Directors, Training Managers and HR Consultants starting up or in their first couple of years of business.

This programme also works well for people related disciplines including training and development, Occupational Health Practitioners and Reward and Benefit experts.

Most likely to have A levels and a degree (not essential).

This HR course is ideal for anyone that has 5 years’ experience in a HR or Learning and Development role at Manager or Advisor level and above. If you have been involved in implementing HR projects and advising internal customers, this programme is for you.

You do not need to CIPD Qualified or be a member of the CIPD, or equivalent body to benefit from this programme.

This HR programme will enable you to move into Independent HR Consulting and become self-employed.

The earnings as an independent HR Consultant are higher than in-house roles and most HR Consultants look to have a 6-figure turnover in 4 - 5 years (depending on level of experience and commitment to growing their HR business).
