How you grow into a full-fledged consultant
As a consultant at AFAS, you provide independent advice to clients and help them organize their processes more intelligently. This requires substantive knowledge, insight into business processes, and strong consulting skills.
That is why you start with the Consultancy Traineeship. During this period, you will learn step-by-step how our software and processes work in practice and how to apply that knowledge to truly help clients move forward.
As a trainee, you support clients with questions, contribute ideas about processes, and help organizations make optimal use of AFAS software. You dive into the content, but you are never alone. You work together with colleagues, such as consultants, product specialists, and developers. This way, you get guidance where necessary and freedom where possible.
Phase 1
- You handle client questions and learn how to set priorities.
- You get to know AFAS, our software, and our clients.
- You work in practice and follow targeted training, both for the software and for soft skills.
- You learn how to provide advice and manage expectations.
Phase 2
- Your knowledge grows, allowing you to contribute to client questions at a higher level.
- You delve into consultancy projects and practice with implementation issues.
- You receive more and more personal responsibility.
- You present ideas and learn to substantiate your choices.
How you help our clients move forward
After the traineeship, you will work as a consultant with clients to set up and improve their processes. You will take on more complex issues, hold conversations with clients, and translate their wishes into solutions that work in practice.
You share your knowledge with clients and colleagues. And yes, you continue to learn, grow, and make an impact.
The focus of the traineeship is on consultancy, but with the knowledge and experience you gain here, you could also potentially work as a First Class specialist, service manager, or product specialist.

And what happens after I complete the traineeship?
We already love your energy! By then, you will be a full-fledged consultant. You will support our clients with major issues. With both solicited and unsolicited advice. You ensure that our clients can work well with the software and enjoy sharing your knowledge. You are then in charge with all your acquired consultancy skills. You embody what we stand for. Indeed: you are then an inspirer yourself.
