Lateraling from non-modelling Levfin group to Elite Boutique/Coverage

I'm currently a first year analyst in aLevFin group that doesn't model. I recently got out of training and started on the desk. I want to eventually lateral to either an EB or a BB Coverage group. I was wondering if this is something that would be possible in the future with the skill set that I'll be picking up over the next 6 months - 1 year. Does anyone have any advice on how to practice my modelling skills so I can ace any lateral interview that may come up?

Take some free or paid online modeling courses, and/or ask someone in your network to send you an old (but populated) model that you can study. Not suggesting that you lie, but I think that 99% of the people you interview with will just assume that you've been modeling. (How else does one underwrite a leveraged cap structure...?)
