BUSINESS FINANCE
Managing successfully requires excellence in a diverse range of skills and abilities. Financial management is arguably the most important of them all, especially in terms of meeting the financial objectives of the business.
This course is aimed at those with a limited understanding of financial techniques and vocabulary. It will give you the invaluable skills required to best use resources, and achieve both greater financial success and the wider objectives of the business.
Whether managing a team, department or division in a small or large organisation, a fluent understanding of fundamental financial theory is vital for the success of your business.

REVIEWS
"Learning and development had not been created as a continuous activity. Training was often one off interventions with the impact difficult to measure. Filtered has helped us change that in a short period of time. The cultural change it has driven in terms of reinforcing an expectation of continuous learning at all levels is the biggest achievement to me."
"We partnered with Filtered because we liked the idea of learners being able to tailor resources based on their knowledge gaps. The quality of reporting data provided allowed us to calculate an ROI of £1.80 for every £1 invested in a licence."
