An education consultant is an independent consultant who helps parents and students with educational planning. The main difference between educational consultant and school counselor is that Educational Consultants are normally self-employed, while school counselors are employed by a school.
Education consultants may be generalists, but most tend to specialize with particular kinds of students, or students with particular kind of needs.
Education consultants generally work on a fee for service basis, paid by the families they serve. Leading education consulting company’s offer a wide range of tailor-made training and consultancy packages aimed at helping schools to deliver the core offer through effective partnerships with other agencies in their local communities. They can help set up registered charities or not-for-profit companies as charitable arms to schools, if needed. They can also prepare your business plan or feasibility study for revenue or capital project.
Some Education consultants help organisations to secure large sums of money to fund capital projects. They provide a comprehensive service from start to finish, from an initial health check on readiness to launch an appeal or a fundraising feasibility study through to full campaign management, ‘hands on’ fundraising, mentoring, training and ongoing support.
Planning and preparation are the keys to success when running a capital appeal and capital appeals team helps clients to follow a proven route. Having years of fundraising experience with a wide range of organisations and making use of extensive in-house resources including research and bid-writing teams, education consultants provide a range of services which span the whole capital appeal process.
