Do you have the Excel/PPT skills to be a top performer?
It happens over and over – promising, capable consultants getting passed over for plum projects and advancement opportunities due to gaps in hard and soft skills, especially just average Excel and PowerPoint 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 an Excel + PowerPoint course 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.
Don’t let average Excel/PowerPoint skills limit your advancement
Effective communication through PowerPoint decks is more than just clicking buttons and aligning objects. We teach you how to influence clients and stakeholders via compelling storytelling.
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. Don’t just take an Excel & PowerPoint course, learn to think like a consultant.
We know your time is valuable. With FastTrack, we’ve condensed the most critical 80/20 consulting skills into lessons covering everything you need and nothing you don’t – including skills not taught at many firms’ orientations.
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).
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.
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.

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.

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.
