Yeah, I did the same thing. I did the emerald coast early in the year and was luck enough to get the interview in the summer. I still had access to the emerald coast audio files, plus you can do an entire additional seminar when you get closer to the interview date - all included in your original fee. Furthermore, you can do the phone prep as a "top off" a few days before the interview.
In the end, I was glad I did the interview prep 6 months before I needed it, because it made the month that I had to prepare for the actual interview go much smoother.

I don't know how many prep companies tell you to open your intro by restating your name, but I felt like when I did so it made it pretty obvious that I had used EC for my interview prep. Even though I had no specific answers from going through their course, I'm sure my panel knew I had done so.

One of the specific questions I got during the interview is "Tell us what you did to prepare for this interview."
Part of my answer included that I did professional interview prep which helped me take my military experience and apply it to commercial aviation and the panel seemed happy with the response. If I were interviewing a candidate and asked them the same question, I would hope that they took some deliberate measures to help in their success.
Of note, one of the two guys that didn't get the CJO had not done, nor had he even heard of interview prep...and it showed.

I did EC in 2006 for JetBlue and got hired. 9 months later I got hired at Delta. I wouldn't have gotten hired by either of them had I not done the interview prep. Albie does a great job at polishing up guys who think they look cool doing PA's from the cabin.
