ELT Consultancy Services : Provided By Notting Hill College

One of the services we provide to the educational community is consultancy. At Notting Hill College School of Teacher Training, we present English language teacher training for schools, centres and other institutions. Our work brings together extensive experience and academic excellence to provide a comprehensive consultancy service, from initial needs analysis to delivery and follow-up.

NHC sends consultants and trainers all over the world to help with practical advice and training in the field of English language education. Consultancy in Steps Consultancies usually consist of an appropriate combination of research, needs analysis, proposal presentation, course or service delivery, evaluation, and follow up. 1.     Research: Providing the best possible advice and service depends on knowing best practice in ELT around the world. The combined experience of the Notting Hill College Consultancy Team allows us to research the best possible practical solutions for each situation. 2.     Needs Analysis Finding solutions involves knowing what the real needs of the stakeholders are. Based on the research carried out, we are able to take an objective view of the needs of all parties involved and deliver a sustainable ELT solution. 3.     Proposal presentation Before any changes are implemented, we propose a solution to everybody involved and demonstrate how it will affect them. We pride ourselves both on the clarity of our proposed solutions and on our ability to communicate effectively with everyone involved in the changes. 4.     Delivery NHC has a reputation for quality of delivery. We can prepare and present sessions or courses for individuals or groups of any size, either in the institute’s home country or elsewhere. 5.     Evaluation An important part of every consultancy is to look at how well it is working. We believe that it is important to consider how to measure success as part of the overall planning. So, evaluation is built in from the outset. 6.     Follow Up ELT solutions are rarely achievable through a one-off change; rather, most involve a gradual process. In recognition of this, Notting Hill College offers a follow-up service, which complements the rest of the package. We regard complete involvement and agreement as being the best possible way of achieving results. We therefore see every part of the process as negotiable with those involved. We do not offer solutions from outside. We talk to the people involved and work out the answers with them We review the situation, discuss the needs it involves and present a solution. Then we design a short materials development and methodology course. We deliver the course in an agreed location and also offer to train one or more of the local, senior members of staff to deliver the course in future.
