How do I find the right training to become an outplacement consultant?

If you look at the outplacement coaching services on offer, you will immediately notice that many training providers not only offer training in outplacement coaching, but also offer outplacement coaching themselves. Make sure that you are not suddenly being advised yourself!

Personal goals:

First of all, it certainly makes sense to consider what goals you are pursuing with coaching training.

Would you like to get to know the field of coaching without obligation? As a rule, certification courses or short seminars and workshops are sufficient for a taster.
Are you already working in consulting or as a coach and would like to continue your education or deepen your knowledge of the subject? If so, you are sure to find exciting seminars and short courses and possibly also a higher federally recognized qualification.
Or have you looked at a specific position in a company? In this case, it is advisable to find out beforehand whether the company requires specific qualifications with a federally recognized degree.
Do you want to take the plunge into self-employment? In principle, you can become self-employed with any of the school's certificates without any additional hurdles.

Personal opportunities based on previous education and experience:

The next step is to ask yourself what you have done so far. What are your previous education, professional experience and skills? Have you already gained experience as a coach or coachee, or as a supervisor or supervisee? You can have some of this credited to you.

Degree required for desired job/position:

You should also clarify what requirements you need to fulfill to achieve your goal. Is certification sufficient or is a federally recognized qualification required?

Then check whether the training leads to the desired qualification or at least gives you access to it. Therefore, check the courses you are interested in carefully: Are the courses recognized by organizations or associations that are important to you?

Personal resources and methodology:

You should also think about your time and financial resources. How much time and money can you spend on training? You will find courses to suit very different situations.

Finally, you should consider what kind of knowledge transfer you are looking for. There are providers who focus more on a scientific and theoretical approach, while others teach in a very practice-oriented way.
