Strategy Consulting Training Program for Non-Consultants

For those of us who haven't worked in consulting before, are there training programs (for individuals, not corporates) one can enroll in to learn and practice working on strategy problems? Any recommendations would be appreciated.

 

Based on your ask, I assume you're looking to simulate a consulting experience with the specific asks and prompts that go into it. The closest thing I found for this is the firm-specific "The Forage" virtual experiences. They provide prompts with downloadable data to prepare questions and deliverables that are simulated to a hypothetical engagement. 

It's free to register and there are walk-throughs provided after you attempt each question. 

Here is one I (bombed) took on: theforage.com/virtual-internships/ prototype/ ntTvo6ru6Tq3A2JPq/ BCG-StrategyConsulting

I've seen Accenture, KPMG, BCG and a few other firms all have their own "The Forage" experience based on their individual practices. I think BCG has a few based on some data analytics roles as well.
