Additional information

I apologise for already asking a similar question to this. As it is an "added bonus" to have experience in SQL etc... when applying for Technology Consultancy and I do not have these skills, would I be more successful in an application for Business Consultancy?

Hi Tom, if you're more motivated towards tech consulting i would recommend applying for this programme. As long as you can justify why you have applied and why you are interesting in tech consulting rather than general consulting it shouldnt be a problem you don't have existing experience
