Seeking Help with ISTD Course: Understanding Consultant Roles and Functional Training

Hi,

I am doing a course from ISTD, New Delhi and need answers to the following questions:

1. The role of an outside consultant in training.
2. What do you understand of the scope of functional training? Illustrate with suitable examples.

Thanks in advance to all the training people over there.

Hi Sir,

Could you please tell me about the cheapest SAP training centers in Delhi, on average? Which one, to your knowledge, is best in terms of affordability (not as high-end as Siemens, etc.)? I have over 2 years of experience in SAP SD as an end-user, but now I aspire to become a consultant. Your guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Same here,

If anyone can help both of us in finding answers to these two questions, it will be great:
1. The role of an outside consultant in training.
2. What do you understand about the scope of functional training? Illustrate with suitable examples.

Thanks & Regards.

Hello Nikks and Tanjot,

I shall try to answer your questions based on what I have observed.

An external consultant generally performs the following tasks:

1. For a training need already identified, they provide the necessary trainer, course material, and logistics.
2. They cater to certificate courses.
3. They plan out induction programs (technical).
4. Consultants typically focus on soft skills training, often stating that they are different.

When we discuss functional training, we understand that:

1. Functional training aims to enhance an executive's expertise in a specific function, for example, QA and Software Testing.
2. Functional trainings are process-based and are designed to enhance domain knowledge and subject matter expertise in areas such as Banking Domain, Aerospace Domain, and Life Sciences Domain. These training programs are tailored to increase knowledge in a particular domain.
3. Regular technical training sessions on skills like C and Java provide a general understanding, while functional training, being process-based, helps learners grasp the application of C and Java within their specific processes and domains.

I hope the information provided is useful. I invite other members in this forum to correct me if I am mistaken. 😊
