Frequently Asked Questions
What if I only have a few weeks until my case interview?
No worries! You have complete access to all course materials as soon a you register. C4 is a self-paced course - you can complete the lessons as fast as you'd like, whether you have 10 weeks or 10 days. Our 10-part structure is a guide to help you get ready steadily and efficiently.
What if I'm just getting started with cases? Is C4 right for me?
Absolutely. We assume no prior knowledge of case interview techniques. Our training is skill-based, which means we focus on the foundational skills you need for every case: communication, structure, analysis and integration.
Do I need to have the Crack the Case System book?
No. We highly recommend Crack the Case System as an essential tool in your case interview prep. However, the course does not assume that you have the book. A selection of practice cases from Crack the Case System is included in the C4 curriculum.
