Amazing course material and an extraordinary instructor!

By Elizabeth Lopez on 10/25/2020

Highly recommended, not only a clear framework is given to structure your thinking and responses but also real-life examples are given and the instructor is able to communicate them in an appealling and easy way so you absorb them and are able to apply them on your own. If you take the time to frame all cases on your own before knowing how the instructor responded, I believe you will be able to really internalize this training to succeed.

I was hopping the course dove deeper into the case solving process. Although I'm happy having completed this course, I still feel I could have received the same information from youtube.

By Mankanwal Singh Chopra on 7/10/2020

Could include more intense/quant heavy cases with proper flow charts.

By Ajit Mallik on 6/20/2020

Amazing course! Very helpful.

By Arun on 4/24/2020

Training content good and was explained well. However, I do not see any of the questions being answered! and while presenter said to contact him no contact details were provided - or did i miss any?

O vdeo fica reiniciando e parando toda hora, e no devido a qualidade da internet

By Valeria Gomes on 4/7/2020

It's a good course to have an overview of how consulting cases look like but it does not help to understand how to evaluate companies and uses technical terms without explanation, for instance gross margin. This is a good course to have a big picture and demystify complexity involved on those interviews, but I guess it'll be necessary to look for other materials to really be able to crack the cases.

By Farah Saab on 3/24/2020

It is a good course if you want to familiarize yourself with a typical consulting case interview. The instructor provides several examples of cases and goes through the actual interview where we get to read the discussion taking place between the candidate and the interviewer. He goes through two different types of case interviews which are the interviewer-led and the candidate-led. His approach is very easy to follow. Some suggestions to improve the course:
- Provide the slides you are using as a PDF document in the course resources.
- Provide a list of common jargon used in the business world which would prove to be especially useful for someone not majored in business or economics. For example, I had to Google gross margin to figure out how the value was computed and I know that there are many other values that I should know like this one. A summary of them will be useful.
- Finally, in terms of the framework, I think it is a good idea to (at least) list other types of frameworks that are commonly used at the big three management consultancy companies.
Other than that, I enjoyed the course and found it interesting :)
