Private Equity Interview / Technical questions - for a newbie

Hi WSO Community, a friend asked me to recommend some courses to prepare for the technical questions of a PE interview (DCF, modeling, company analysis, Bloomberg, Excel, etc)?  I know that Wallstreet prep, WSO and Peak Frameworks seem to offer similar classes. What are your thoughts? Do you recommend any other sources? Thank you!
