Abstract
A one- or two- semester course in statistical consultancy has been
run at Florida State University for 18 years, and transferred
recently as more concentrated training to the Office for National
Statistics in the UK. It is based on delivering and discussing
content that relates to the effectiveness of consultancy, videoing
and analysing consultations that participants create to provide
immediate practice on the content, and focussing on relationships
and communications to help consultants be successful with even
the "difficult" clients or colleagues. This talk will relate the
methods used and the experiences gained from this training method.
