Private Equity:
Associate - Interview Ready
Your Step-by-Step Blueprint to Confidently Nail Your Private Equity Associate Interviews.
See both the senior and junior perspective. We have intensive modeling practice, but beyond that, we show you how to distill information, build investment theses, and demonstrate business judgment—which is what actually matters for hiring decisions.
Most programs are created by recent associates, which offers a limited, junior perspective on private equity.
Flexible prep paths tailored to your timeline and goals—from our focused 20-hour program for time-constrained candidates to our 90-hour intensive prep path. You get to choose the depth of preparation that matches your needs.
Most programs offer a single path that either overwhelms or underprepares candidates.
We bring concepts to life with engaging visuals and animations, paired with proprietary frameworks for business analysis and deal evaluation. Our approach helps you master complex concepts intuitively rather than through rote memorization.
Dense, static slides filled with formulas and modeling mechanics that miss the strategic thinking required in PE Associate interviews. This leaves you technically proficient but unable to demonstrate the business judgment that senior interviewers actually evaluate.

Yes, we assume basic knowledge of accounting and valuation. While we include our financial modeling course in the package for those who want to brush up on fundamentals, this content is designed for candidates with a baseline understanding of financial modeling, valuation, and core finance principles—typically those coming from investment banking or similar backgrounds.
We've trained PE candidates every year and built this content to fill the specific gaps we see consistently. Created by Mike Kimpel, who has worked with countless private equity professionals, this package goes beyond the mechanical exercise of building models. We show you the "why" behind every concept, so when you're pressed on these topics in interviews, you can navigate questions with confidence and demonstrate genuine understanding.
We provide far more comprehensive content than you'll find elsewhere. Our Advanced LBO package covers virtually every type of LBO scenario you could encounter in an interview or on the job. Beyond the modeling, we give you proprietary frameworks that help you break down any business, create investment theses, and develop business intuition that simply isn't taught in other PE interview training courses. This gives you a real edge over your peers.
