Abstract
The effectiveness of training consultants plays a crucial role in enhancing professional development in the construction industry, where project management skills are essential for successful project execution. This study evaluates the performance of Prof. David Ackah as a training consultant in construction project management training programs organised by the Institute of Project Management Professionals (IPMP) Ghana. Using a mixed-methods research approach, the study employed daily performance assessments, participant feedback surveys, interviews, and document analysis to measure key aspects of training delivery, including content organisation, engagement, methodology, and overall effectiveness. The findings indicate that Prof. Ackah’s training sessions were well-received, with high ratings for clarity of explanations, depth of technical knowledge, participant engagement, and professionalism. However, areas for improvement were identified, including enhancing interactive learning methods, optimising time management, and increasing the accessibility of training materials. The study underscores the importance of developing a structured framework for evaluating training consultants to ensure continuous improvement in training quality. This research contributes to the broader discourse on effective professional training in Ghana’s construction sector by providing a replicable model for assessing consultant performance. The recommendations emphasise the need for more practical learning approaches, better time management, and the integration of advanced visual learning tools to further enhance the impact of construction project management training.
