neutral  writeaway: where does the 'in-house' come from? Surely not from Asker's overly abundant context? /teacher, instructor. with 0000 context, we're free to use what we like.

  -> Point taken. On-going training consultant may be preferable, but 'consutlant' seems rather high and mighty.
neutral  Mimi7: In the U.S., we often use the term "continuing education" - in this case "continuing education consultant." Here, we don't know if it's in-house (at the company site) or not, given there's no context.

Prescripteur de formation continue
"Someone who recommends training courses"


Explanation:
"Prescripteur" has come up many, many times before. Rather than actually prescribing, it often means a recommendation or suggestion or influence on decision-making. A "prescripteur de formation continu" might be the HR team in a company who advise staff to do training courses (and maybe even pay for them). It might also be a professional body that recommends training courses to its members.

You need to give more context to find the right term here.
