Is the Management Consulted Black Belt Program worth it?

Hi everyone! I'm new to WSO and this is my first post. So, my apologies if this topic has already been addressed elsewhere. I'm a 2nd year MBA candidate who is attempting to transition into the management consulting field. I've read books such as Case Interview Secrets by Victor Cheng and Case in Point by Marc Cosentino to learn more about the consulting industry and to prepare for on-campus recruiting/interviewing this fall. Both of these books are great, but it's not a practical substitute for case interview preparation.

It has been difficult to find a steady and knowledgeable case interview partner to practice with. Someone suggested registering for the Management Consulted Black Belt Deluxe Program (managementconsulted(dot)com/consulting-products-and-services/). I've attended one of their free webinar's to see what it's all about. It appears to be legit, but I'm a little apprehensive due to the $2K price tag.

Has anyone either taken this program and/or know of anyone who has taken the program? If so, could you please provide some feedback so that I can make a better informed decision? Does anyone know of a less expensive and/or better alternative? Thanking you in advance for your assistance.

 

I'd love to hear of people's experience with this program as well. I'm currently considering Prep Lounge's PS4 program too.
