Do you have what it takes to be a top performer?
It happens over and over – promising, capable consultants getting passed over for plum projects and opportunities to advance due to gaps in their hard and soft skills.
If only there was a way for new consultants to hit the ground running (or for existing consultants to quickly level up).
There is. Presenting: FastTrack.
FastTrack is designed to help you avoid pitfalls that will keep you from reaching your potential as a consultant:
- Overconfidence (“I don’t need anyone’s help!”)
- Not able to work efficiently under pressure
- Ineffective top-down communication skills
- Inability to gain and keep client trust
- Lack of executive presence
- Decks that miss the point
- Weak modeling skills
- Imposter Syndrome
FastTrack was designed by MBB alumni to help you build critical consulting skills: Excel, PowerPoint, presentation ability, modeling best practices, and more – all customized to the unique needs of consultants.
Training Trusted By:
Don’t let what you don’t know limit what you could become.
Effective communication is more than just clicking buttons and aligning objects. We teach you how to influence clients and stakeholders via compelling storytelling.
Along with 30+ hours of self-paced training and hands-on exercises, you’ll get access to 6 real-world analytics prompts and a presentation case study to apply what you’re learning. We think you’ll be pleasantly surprised (and engaged).
You get what you pay for. FastTrack was built for consultants, by consultants, to impart the analytical and storytelling best practices you need to succeed.
FastTrack teaches skills that are universally desired and applicable throughout the consulting industry. Plus, we’ve included an overview of presentation styles at four major consulting firms: McKinsey, Bain, BCG and Deloitte.
We know your time is valuable. With FastTrack, we’ve condensed the most critical 80/20 consulting skills into 82 lessons covering everything you need and nothing you don’t – including skills not taught at many firms’ orientations.
Will your firm teach you how to build a deck? Yes. Will they teach you how to become a trusted advisor? Learning that is up to you – and FastTrack will help you get there faster.
FastTrack was designed to:
EQUIP you to build trust with and influence clients
INCREASE the persuasiveness of your communication
ACCELERATE your extraction of key insights from data
TRANSFORM your ability to perform under pressure
DISTINGUISH you as a go-to resource on your team
MAXIMIZE your promotion potential and career growth
Why FastTrack?
The Only Modeling & Storytelling Training for Consultants
We know: There are plenty of Excel and PowerPoint courses out there. But there’s only one that is tailor-made by former MBB consultants to teach you the strategy behind the models and decks and increase your professional influence. Don’t settle for “one size fits all” courses.
Practical Exercises and Real-World Consulting Scenarios
Activate and retain what you’re learning with six real-world modeling exercises. Then, follow along as our expert trainers walk you through how to build and present a compelling deck.
Learn the “When” and “Why” Behind the “How”
Most courses will show you the buttons to click, but not when and why to use your new skills. FastTrack’s end-to-end approach helps you integrate the skills you learn in order to quickly extract insights from raw data and deliver those insights to clients with clarity and authority.
Lifetime Access to All Updates
We’re constantly improving FastTrack – and your FastTrack purchase today includes all future updates to the materials.

YES! Even though you’ve spent a lot of time in Excel, have you used it the way a consultant does? Consultants drive Excel harder than almost any other profession, and if you want to gain some serious cred inside the office, being an Excel pro is a must.
Plus, you’ll be much more efficient on the job. As we like to say around here; “work smarter, not harder.”

Excel for Consulting is 44 lessons long.
Ideally, you’ll do 1 module every day (with the related data sets) and spend some time practicing, too. That’s 8 days.
If you’re extremely new to Excel, you will find it most beneficial to give yourself 1-2 months to complete all of the practice in depth.
PowerPoint for Consulting is 38 lessons. If you complete 1 module per day (with associated practice) you can complete the course in 1 week.
If you’re close to your interview or start date, you can pick and choose from the course to best prepare – you could do it in only 2-3 days with intense focus.
For the courses to be most effective, and to take full advantage, you should plan a minimum of 30 hours – in a few long sittings, or over a number of weeks, to review the information and practice.
Good news! FastTrack is delivered online – just add to your cart, create an account during the checkout process, and the courses will be available immediately after purchase.
