Internal consultancy is work carried out by ECRI staff, over and above the regular scheduled ECRI provision for ECRs.  Imperial Departments will be charged a fee for engaging in the programme and can request ECRI to: 

  • design and deliver a range of bespoke learning and development opportunities for cohorts. 
  • deliver existing “off-the-shelf” courses for a ‘cohort closed’ group who are atypical stakeholders i.e. Postgraduate Taught, Undergraduate cohorts.

Criteria

Imperial Departments are asked to review ECRI’s Internal Consultancy Criteria to ensure they meet the parameters prior to completing the booking form:  

  • The internal consultancy request(s) is within ECRI’s scope/expertise. 
  •  All request(s) are subject to ECRI Teaching Staff(s) availability. 
  • ECRI reserves the right to deny requests under any circumstances, including and not limited to: lack of resources, low booking registrations etc. Requests can be cancelled at any stage if it is felt the criteria listed, or otherwise, haven’t been met. 
  • ECRI does not facilitate the delivery of existing “off-the-shelf” courses taught outside of the ECRI Teaching Team i.e. Careers Service, Centre for Academic English.  In these instances, the requester should contact the relevant services directly.  
  • Any request(s) received require a minimum of at least 4 weeks to organise.
