DEISO company, a pioneer in environmental and sustainability training, offers “Sustainability Independent Consultant (SIC) Training Programs” that are designed for individuals from diverse backgrounds, such as industry, academia, and corporate sectors, who wish to become proficient “independent sentimental sustainability consultants.” Two comprehensive training plans, “Professional” and “Advanced,” are available.

Both training plans, “SIC Professional” and “SIC Advanced,” share a common curriculum to equip participants with essential skills and knowledge. However, the “SIC Advanced” program stands out in two ways:

1. Additional Topics and Features: The “SIC Advanced” course includes supplementary modules and advanced topics that delve deeper into specialized areas of sustainability consulting, allowing participants to improve their expertise and capabilities in the sustainability business. This additional training prepares them for more complex consulting projects.

2. Comprehensive IT Coverage: The “SIC Advanced” program covers all necessary Information Technology (IT) topics crucial for independent consultants. Unlike the “SIC Professional” program, the “SIC Advanced” course is inclusive to ensure participants acquire the technical skills required to execute sustainability consultancy projects efficiently and economically. They can avoid engaging multiple IT companies and minimize associated costs.

Overall, DEISO’s “Sustainability Independent Consultant (SIC) Training Programs” offer specialized training pathways to individuals who aspire to excel as independent sustainability consultants. These training plans cater to their business goals of “independence” and professional development needs.

What are the Benefits of "Sustainability Independent Consultant (SIC) Training Programs?

Gain a diverse skillset covering sustainability principles, methodologies, and consulting techniques, enhancing your expertise in addressing complex environmental challenges and exploring a wide spectrum of business consultation opportunities as an individual or independent consultant.

Acquire the knowledge and tools to establish your own independent consultancy business, providing flexibility in choosing clients, projects, and work schedules.

Earn credentials from a reputable training program, boosting your credibility and recognition as a qualified sustainability consultant.

Connect with like-minded professionals, mentors, and industry professionals during your consultation journey with clients worldwide.

Tap into the growing demand for sustainability consultancy services across various sectors, positioning yourself as a sought-after expert in guiding organizations towards environmentally responsible practices.

Develop critical thinking and problem-solving abilities to analyze complex sustainability issues, devise innovative solutions/projects, and effectively communicate client recommendations. Develop holistic skills that can carry out projects in an integrative manner.

Attain the skills to manage your consultancy business efficiently, increasing your earning potential and achieving financial independence.

DEISO’s “Sustainability Independent Consultant (SIC)” training programs, particularly the “Advanced” plan, offer a strategic advantage by integrating comprehensive information technology (IT) training. By equipping trainees with skills in website development, online business appearance enhancement, PC technical proficiency, and more, DEISO empowers consultants to handle various technical tasks independently. Here’s how this approach reduces independent costs:

  1. Consolidated Skillset: Trainees in the “SIC Advanced” program gain a diverse skill set encompassing IT-related competencies crucial for running an independent consultancy business. Instead of outsourcing these tasks to multiple third-party companies, consultants can handle them in-house, reducing the need for external expenditures.
  2. Cost-Efficiency: By acquiring IT knowledge and skills through the training program, consultants minimize the costs of hiring specialized IT firms or professionals for website development, online presence management, server management, business email management, and other technical tasks. This cost-efficient approach allows consultants to allocate resources more effectively.
  3. Independence and Control: With proficiency in IT-related areas, consultants maintain greater independence and control over their business operations. They can make timely website updates, manage online business appearances, back up and synchronize data securely, and undertake other technical tasks autonomously without relying on external support.
  4. Streamlined Operations: Incorporating IT training into the consultancy program streamlines operations by eliminating the need to coordinate with multiple third-party vendors for IT-related services. Consultants can manage all technical aspects internally, leading to smoother workflows and faster project delivery.
  5. Competitive Edge: Consultants equipped with IT skills from the “SIC Advanced” program gain a competitive edge in the market. They can offer a wider range of services without incurring additional costs, positioning themselves as versatile and cost-effective solutions for clients seeking comprehensive sustainability consultancy services.

In essence, DEISO’s “Sustainability Independent Consultant (SIC)” training programs, particularly the “Advanced” plan, empower trainees to lower independent costs by providing essential IT training. By mastering these skills, consultants can efficiently handle technical tasks in-house, offering cost-effective solutions while maintaining independence and competitiveness in the consultancy market.

Charge your clients based on one of two popular consultancy models: Pay to Access the Knowledge Model and Project-Based Collaboration. Clients and consultants collaborate closely throughout the project lifecycle, fostering a dynamic and engaged partnership to achieve project milestones and goals. Ultimately, the choice between the “Pay to Access the Knowledge” and “Pay for Project” models depends on client preferences, consulting approach, and the nature of sustainability initiatives involved. By understanding the benefits of each model you will learn in each training plan you choose, you can effectively tailor your consultancy services to meet the diverse needs of your clients. In this model, clients pay a fee to continuously access your expertise, knowledge, and resources.

Contribute to global sustainability efforts by assisting businesses and organizations in implementing eco-friendly practices, reducing their environmental footprint, and fostering a more sustainable future.

Access ongoing resources, updates, and professional development opportunities to stay abreast of evolving sustainability trends, ensuring your knowledge and skills remain current and relevant.

  1. Experience a sense of personal fulfillment and purpose by leveraging your expertise to make a meaningful difference in promoting environmental stewardship and sustainable development.
