Course Description
Microsoft Excel, the world's most popular spreadsheet software, is designed to help users perform a myriad of business tasks, from to-do lists to forecasts to macros and VBA. Excel is our flagship course, used by hundreds of thousands of customers and clients around the world including the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales and many blue-chip firms.
Most office staff can use Excel to a basic level for data entry, to format cells, even to use a basic PivotTable. But few make it to the next level, to be able to build models, conduct scenario analyses, apply checks to flag errors, create a dashboard or format to a client-ready standard.
Our best-selling, award-winning, accredited course will do all of this. And it will do so efficiently, by using our propietary filtering algorithm to direct your attention to those areas of Excel most relevant to you.

My competency in Excel was quite average before I started, but there were a
lot of complicated functions that I needed at a new workplace. My employer
paid for this training for me, and given my feedback, went on to get training
for the entire company.
The modules are in really easy little chunks, and it's easy to dip in and out
when you need to learn particular skills.
I keep on using it to go over particular more complicated functions, as the
instructor is really helpful at explaining complex functions in simple detail.
Would definitely recommend!

Having a basic knowledge of Excel, Filtered tailored the syllabus to my needs
meaning that I didn't cover what I'd already knew and was able to concentrate
on the things that I needed in my everyday job. Moving around the site was
also very easy and straight forward. Will be looking to do future courses with
Filtered.

I have always used Excel and more recently to a higher degree of difficulty.
This course is perfect for me as I have previously had face to face training
which is great at the time but unless you use what you have learned straight
away and continue to do so it's hard to remember what you were taught weeks or
even months ago. With this course I can refer back at any time and remind
myself of the various formulas etc. The course covers all bases from basic
Excel skills to really advanced skills ....I am extremely excited about
getting to the Visual Basic sections and taking my skills to a whole new
level! I really like that you can take a test to get your benchmarked IQ and
great that you can re-take this as many times as you want as you work through
the courses to see if your IQ has increased (which it has!) ... another
favourite feature of mine is the filter, which is basically a number of

favourite feature of mine is the filter, which is basically a number of
questions you answer and the system then works out what you already know and
what you don’t know and tailors the course to your own specific needs. This
saves time and means you can really focus on developing new skills. I really
rate this course and use it day to day in my job.

Likes: breadth of information, and the quiz in the beginning that allows you
to filter out the redundant information. The videos were useful, especially
since they had closed captioning and the solutions as well.
Dislikes: the after section quizzes. Too abstract, the answers were not
obvious in the subject matter and too detailed if you wanted to know how to do
a function, not just the "why" behind it.

As background, I am a divisional controller for a $15B healthcare company. My
Company was searching for a training tool we could use to improve the overall
competency level of our FP&A;, Accounts Payable and Accounting teams with
Microsoft Excel. We discovered Filtered and have been using this tool for
approximately 6 months. Pros Training Methodology Filtered is exceptional in
its training approach. The user begins by taking a test in order for Filtered
to assess their current competency level. Based on the results of that test
Filtered then defines the scope of the training. Once the training is
completed the user takes a final test to measure their overall improvement.
Training Materials The training materials are interactive and include
downloadable excel files, audio/video presentations, etc. This definitely
helps increase the level of engagement for the user. Scope of Training

Training Materials The training materials are interactive and include

Filtered offers access to a wide range of Microsoft products, including Excel,
Word and PowerPoint. While we primarily use this for Excel, it's a definite
nice to have to have access to the other products. Further, Filtered recently
updated the scope of the Excel training to provide access to an advanced Excel
training course. Most importantly, Filtered's training is tailored to the
different versions of the Microsoft Office suite, so training materials are
available for Microsoft Office 2003, 2007/2010 or 2013. This is extremely
helpful. Testing Filtered also offers a stand-alone Excel test that we use
measure the competency level of job applicants. This is a cost-effective tool
to get an accurate measure of an applicants true abilities. Cons Website The
Filtered website can be glitchy at times. This can be an irritant but is
primarily a by product of the Filtered teams continuous improvement of the
product. Having said that, I can live with the occasional glitch. And in
fairness, anytime I've had an issue, the team has been quick to respond and
remedy the problem. The overall response level is excellent. Admin Tools This
is a big opportunity for Filtered to make significant improvements. For
instance, if I use one of our licenses to sign up a staff member for training
and that staff member leaves the Company before they commence the training,
there is currently no way to claw back that license and delete that person
from the system. The same holds true for the testing product I referred to
above. If I send an applicant a test request and they never complete the
assessment I don't have the ability to delete that applicant from the system.
I would really like to see the admin tools improved in the near term. Overall,
the Filtered training product is exceptional and I would have no reservations
recommending it. The value prop is definitely there.
