Abstract
This paper considers how students might be taught statistical consulting. Desirable characteristics of a good consultant are described. While skill in statistical techniques is considered, it is just one of several areas of expertise that are discussed. Suggestions are made as to what should be included in a consulting course to equip a student with these characteristics.
