Frequently Asked Questions
For years, we’ve heard from independent consultants about the challenges of working solo, particularly when it comes to accessing continuous development and learning opportunities. Catalant is uniquely positioned to address this by harnessing the elite talent and knowledge within our network and making it accessible to peers. While our core focus has been connecting consultants to companies, we believe there’s also a huge opportunity to create value by connecting consultants to other consultants. In doing so, we hope to help you upskill, optimize your practice, and grow your business while also building connections and a stronger sense of community. This course is one way we’re doing that.
This course is built specifically for independent consultants in the Catalant Expert Community who want to learn how to use AI to win more business, scale operations, and deliver work more efficiently.
Unlike generic AI programs, this course is taught by independent consultants who are both subject-matter experts and peers. In addition to learning from the faculty, you’ll gain insights from your fellow participants—creating a peer-learning environment where you can exchange ideas, share experiences, and build connections that extend beyond the sessions.
The course consists of live Zoom sessions, each focused on a specific topic. Sessions are designed for collaborative learning and knowledge sharing, combining faculty-led content with active discussion among participants.
Recordings may be made available at the discretion of the instructor and Catalant. Live participation is an essential part of the experience, as the biggest value comes from engaging in real-time with your peers and instructors. When recordings are provided, they will include only the instructor-led portions (not breakouts, discussions, Q&A, etc.)
Each module is one hour long, held weekly over Zoom. We’ve designed the program to maximize value without requiring a major time investment.
Yes. There is a flat enrollment fee, which helps compensate faculty for their expertise and ensures that participants are committed to engaging fully. This commitment is essential since peer-to-peer learning is a core element of the course experience.
Enrollment opens in early October. If you’d like early access, you can sign up for notifications and receive an invite 48 hours before enrollment goes live. Once enrollment begins, spots are available on a first-come, first-served basis and will be capped to ensure a productive environment for discussion and collaboration.
Submit the enrollment application at the top of this page. Catalant will then review your eligibility (you must be a member of Catalant’s expert network). Once confirmed, you’ll receive instructions to submit payment via Stripe. Your spot in the course is only reserved after payment is processed.
We’re so glad you’re curious! Please review the Terms of Use for additional information or send us an email at community@gocatalant.com with your question and a member of the team will get back to you
