To become a software consultant, study how to use all the major software programs. Earning an associate or bachelor’s degree in computer science, information technology, or a related field trains you in essential software programs.

Become certified in the IT world by taking the CompTIA A+, Net+, and Security+ exams. Pass proficiency exams for specific software vendors like Microsoft’s MCST and MCSE (Microsoft Certified Solutions Technician/Expert respectively), or the CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate) to create a substantial portfolio of your skill set for clients. Acquire an entry-level position in an IT department at a large company or a software firm to gain experience in the industry. Once you have worked for several years, you may choose to become a software consultant at a consulting firm or you may become an independent consultant and find clients on your own.
