Description

Ready to explore a career as an IT consultant? Have you always wanted to stop being an employee and to start being responsible for your career? This beginner-friendly Udemy course offers a concise, practical introduction to launching your journey in IT consulting.

Drawing from over 15 years of experience in tech, cybersecurity, and solution architecture, I answer real-world questions and  steps to transition from employee to consultant.
Perfect for newcomers, this course provides a great introduction into IT consulting ..
My experience spans working with international clients such as Bombardier, Hitachi, iA, and others.. in addition to SMEs that I helped craft IT Security strategies to protect their assets and reduce costs.

Why this course? Although I offer a masterclass course for the same topic, I wanted to create something that would answer the basic questions that IT professionals have about IT Consulting; information that you wouldn't find anywhere, for the price of a coffee. Imagine that we sat together for an hour and discussed how to start in consulting.

My Masterclass will include more in-depth topics about IT consulting, but for now, I want you to dip your toe into consulting to see if this something that you'd want to pursue :).

Who this course is for:

  • IT professionals with at least 1 year of experience.
