Mission and Profile

COLCONS – Corporate Learning Consultants stands for professional development with substance, transfer orientation and digital connectivity.

Since 1998, COLCONS has been supporting companies, educational institutions, and international partners in the development and implementation of qualification strategies, train-the-trainer formats, curricula, and digital learning solutions – in Berlin, Germany, and in more than 15 international contexts. The aim is to design vocational education in such a way that it is didactically viable, organisationally compatible and in practice effective.

Under the leadership of Dr Daniel Büttner, COLCONS combines many years of practical experience in vocational training with science-based transfer, instructional design and international project work. This does not result in any standard programmes, but rather in tailored qualification and consultancy concepts for the respective context.

COLCONS works with companies, chambers of commerce, educational institutions, international partner organisations and other stakeholders in the vocational education sector. The services are aimed at organisations that do not provide training in isolation, but as strategic, didactic and organisational, shapeable development tasks.

How COLCONS works

COLCONS follows a practical and transfer-oriented approach. Training- and consultancy projects are not merely developed in terms of content but structured in line with the respective context, from the needs analysis through concept development and the pilot phase to implementation, evaluation, and ensuring transferability in practice.

Depending on needs, this results in in-house seminars, workshops, digital learning formats, concept papers, train-the-trainer programmes or long-term consultancy and development processes. The collaboration can take place in face-to-face, online or hybrid formats.

Academic and institutional integration

COLCONS is firmly established in various contexts of vocational education and training, both in terms of expertise and institutional ties. These include, amongst others:

  • many years of experience in trainer accreditation and vocational training
