Prep for your CVC interview with someone who passed it
Book an hour with a person who got the offer at CVC. They know the questions, the pace and what their interviewers looked for. A coach who passed can grill you on your deals the way partners do, time you on a practice model and give you honest feedback on how your investment case lands.

How private equity interviews usually work
Private equity interviews move quickly and assume you already know the basics. Expect detailed questions on deals you have worked on, a modelling test and a case where you decide whether you would invest. Practising with someone who has been through it helps you show judgement, not just technical skill.

CVC interview prep: questions
Who are the CVC coaches?
People who passed the CVC interview themselves. Some still work there and some have moved on. We check every coach's LinkedIn before their page goes live.
What can I practise for CVC?
Whatever stage you're at. Each coach lists the interviews they passed and sets a price for each one.
How long is a session?
One hour on a private video call. Most people use it for a full mock interview followed by feedback.
How do I prepare for a modelling test?
Practise building simple models under time pressure until the mechanics are automatic. Then spend your energy on the assumptions and the story, which is what interviewers remember.
What if my deal experience is limited?
Know every detail of the deals you have, and form your own view on them. A coach can help you present smaller deals with confidence.
