NILE'S CONSULTANCY SERVICES

NILE sends consultants and trainers all over the world to help with practical advice and training in the field of English language education. We have sent advisors and trainers to work with Ministries of Education, the British Council, universities and other institutions in over 30 countries.

Consultancies may involve any or all of the following:

Research

Providing the best possible advice and service depends on knowing about best practice in ELT around the world. The combined experience of the NILE consultancy team allows us to research the best possible practical approaches to each situation.

Needs Analysis

Finding ways forward involves knowing what the real needs of the stakeholders are. As a consequence of the research we carry out, and our independence, we are able to take an objective view of the needs of all parties involved and to contribute to a sustainable and contextually appropriate way forward. 

Delivery

NILE has a reputation for quality of delivery. We can prepare and present sessions or courses for individuals or groups of any size, either in-country or in the UK. We are also able to take a strong partnershiip role in the delivery of project outcomes.

Evaluation

An important part of every consultancy is to look at how well it is working. We believe that it is important to consider how to measure success as part of the overall planning. So, evaluation is built in from the outset.

Follow Up

Favourable outcomes are rarely achievable through a single change event. Most involve a gradual process of change. At NILE we recognise this and we offer a follow-up service to complement the other parts of the package.

We regard complete involvement and agreement as being the best possible way of achieving results. We therefore see every part of the process as negotiable with our partners. We don’t offer solutions from outside. We talk to our partners and work out the answers with them.

If you would like to discuss a proposal or find out more about what we are able to offer your organisation, please contact one of the team of Directors.
