I'm the co-founder of Formation, one thing you can consider is doing 1 month at Formation (via the month to month model) and just doing System Design ($2500 per month as of 01/2024) (and whatever other stuff you can squeeze into a month).

Is that a live course led by a mentor? Can you provide course details and topics covered? How much time is given in the month to month model?

I just edited to clarify, but it's not a fixed course. You'll cover all the SD topics, but our process it to accelerate through stuff you benchmark well on, and spend more time on things you are weaker on. So every week you'll get 1 to 4ish small group mentor led sessions (different mentors based on scheduling and your preferences) and the topics will be things you need to work on. Then you'll do some benchmarks and move on when you are solid enough on those topics. Ultimately culminating in doing legit 1-1 SD mocks (similar to Interviewing.io's mocks). $2500 per month (and there are currently some packages if you want 2 or 3 months)

Thanks for providing details. It doesn't look like this is something which I want now. I am looking for a proper course.

Maybe read through this https://www.amazon.com/System-Design-Interview-insiders-Second/dp/B08CMF2CQF It's a good resource!
