How it works

01

Complete the diagnostic

Answer a short set of questions about your experience and how confident you feel across each part of the consultation process. About ten minutes, on your own or as a team.

02

We build your profile

tCI turns your answers into a Training Diagnostic Profile: an overall baseline, a score for every skill domain, and the priorities where development will make the biggest difference.

03

Talk through next steps

Your profile arrives with recommended courses and a short conversation to sequence them around live work, whether that is one person or a whole team.

What the profile shows

Eight skill domains, one clear baseline.

Every domain is rated on a four-point scale, from Learning to Expert, so you can see where the strengths sit and where to start.

Legal & Compliance

Statutory duties, the Gunning Principles and judicial-review risk.

Decision-Making

Governance, accountability and a clear route to the final decision.

Planning

Scoping, resourcing and a realistic consultation timeline.

Equalities

The Public Sector Equality Duty and reaching seldom-heard groups.

Stakeholder Engagement

Mapping stakeholders, relationships and political dynamics.

Communications

Clear, accessible material and working with the media.

Methods

Surveys, focus groups and the right technique for the question.

Analysis & Reporting

Weighing evidence and showing how it shaped the decision.
