Brother is starting at Accenture - How to Prepare

All,

Thanks in advance for the assistance. I have been a long-time user of WSO and am currently in the CRE field but am looking for feedback on how to prepare for a consulting role. My brother recently accepted an offer from Accenture but has ~6 months before starting, so I wanted to figure out what would be the best use of time to prepare for the position. I know when I was initially preparing for IB I was taking all of the online courses that were provided through WSO, TTS, etc. and wanted to know the best courses / use of time to prepare for that role.

Again, thanks in advance for the assistance here given my background doesn't provide much value to my brother!

EDIT: Just to confirm - looking for any books, self-study courses, etc. that would be beneficial to help prepare for the role and hit the ground running day one!
