Hi there,
First of all, congratulations on the (supposed) upcoming consulting career entry!
This is indeed an interesting question which is probably relevant for quite a lot of users, so I am happy to provide my perspective on it:
- Generally speaking, there are (at least) three different types of trainings you need to distinguish:
- Introductory trainings: Normally catering to all/ most levels, you will learn the very basics of tools, resources and procedures across all functions in the first couple of weeks. These trainings normally last several days.
- Thorough, level-based trainings: Normally offsite, you will receive thorough training on all dimensions of problem solving, client and team interaction specific to your level. These trainings normally last between 5-10 days.
- Specific skill-based trainings: Based on specific needs and wants, you will have the opportunity to conduct trainings catering to a specific skill. These trainings normally last between a couple of hours to a full day.
In case you want a more detailed discussion on how to best prepare your upcoming career entry before the start, please feel free to contact me directly.
I hope this helps,
Hagen

Hello there,
as BCG trainer and coach for the newly hired Associate and Consultants, let me share my view.
You will have extensive training scheduled in the first months after the incorporation where you will learn about the company, the consulting tool kit skills, using the most important tools and sources available.
In addition, you will have also to your disposal access to portal with many training content.
Growing the teams' capabilities is a critical component in the top consulting firms and you will have access to continuous training.
MBB provides all tools and munition to succeed in your consulting chapter!
Wishing you smooth sailing,
Lucie

You have all types of training. E-learning, in-room sessions on your office, and after a few weeks you may have an offsite training (although not sure how that is working right now with COVID).
The initial training focuses on the basics: the internal tools, how to do slides, how to work on excel, how to think about communication, how to interact with clients, what's expected from you at your rank.

Hi there,
You have your initial cohort training (generally 2 weeks) which is a crash course in consulting.
Then, there are periodic (normally twice yearly) trainings for a couple of days.
Additionally, you learn significantly on the job and through various learning tools/platforms (e.g. BCG Labs) at your own discretion.

Hi, yes, I confirm you are going to receive an onboarding training of 2 weeks about basic tools (ppt, xls, …), problem solving skills, admin stuff.
Every year you will be invited in a 1-week training with international colleaugues of your tenure
Best,
Antonello
