Hi,

I looked around previously on resources for this, and I agree that there are very limited resources out there. 

A similar question was asked a while back by someone who was already in consulting - I gave a detailed response there on how to think about business models and the options to improve your excel:

Resources on training/ coaching for Excel Financial modelling | PrepLounge.com

In short, the key value add of consultants is the logic/critical thinking aspect of the model that underpins the assumptions and drivers. So that leaves you with a few options:

1. Leverage resources meant for Finance → if you can build a 3 statement model you can build anything
2. Learn on the job
3. Hire a coach

Happy to have a more detailed chat - feel free to reach out.

Hi there,

I'm not familair with any specific course like what you mention, but I do offer training in this (through either business prompts or actual datasets). Feel free to reach out!

Hi there,

to get to know different industries, branches and project types we can recommend our project simulations. Here are more information and here is an overview of the projects.

I hope that helps!

Hi there, 

First of all, if you're doing this as prep for getting into consulting, don't worry too much about it - you're not expected to know these things before joining. You'll receive all the necessary training on the job. 

However, if you do want to go for it, I'd recommend that you identify actual certifications that will improve your value proposition in the long-run e.g., CFA accreditation or any big name institute certifications. 

Alternatively, you could hire a coach and do this on an one-on-one basis. The advantage to this approach is that you learn how it works specifically in consulting. 

Best,
Cristian

Hello,

To be perfectly candid, if you’re looking to develop business modelling skills in order to get a job in consulting, I wouldn’t spend too much time on it. It’s not a skill that’s looked for or assessed in interviews, so your time is better spent elsewhere. The firm you will end up joining will likely have company-specific training courses for their consultants about business modelling which you can take as soon as you join – that way you can learn how to do it their way, and not waste your money on courses that won’t be applicable on the job. The rest you can pick up on the job.
