What are you going to consult on? I have no idea what your current situation is, but companies hire consultants to solve problems that they cannot solve with their current employee's skill sets.
Don't get me wrong, maybe you are in your 40s and going back to school to pursue a literature degree because that is your true calling and have tons of professional experience. But if you are in your early 20s and plan on doing some "freelance consulting" with no real professional experience and a couple of certifications then most companies won't take you seriously.
Get those certs + 10 years in the field + some serious management experience and then go consult.
If what you mean by consult is doing some contract work-well then that's a different story altogether.
I really don't mean to sound like an ass, I think your head is in the right place but a little more background would help here.
