The title Unternehmensberater, management consultant, is not protected in Germany. The chamber of commerce for the Palatinate says it plainly: jeder – ob qualifiziert oder nicht – kann sich als „Unternehmensberater” bezeichnen. Anyone, qualified or not, may use it. The chamber in Wuppertal tells firms to obtain and check references in every case, to compare at least three consultants, and to check whether the consultant’s experience fits the problem.
