HOW FILTERED TRAINING WORKS
Filter
- Carefully designed questions are asked at the outset to understand each user’s knowledge and needs.
- These inputs are used by Filtered's algorithm to filter out any material the user doesn't need or already knows.
- This leaves a precise, achievable learning objective (often just a few hours), customized for each learner.
- Businesses can further modify the Filtered syllabus, selecting precise units or modules to suit the needs of particular staff or departments.
Learn
- Filtered courses are organised into sections, units and modules. The smallest of these - modules - are typically a few pages long, self-contained and can be studied in any order. The capstone of a module is the 'Accelerator' - a quick summary intended for learners with some familiarity with the content.
- Course authors are hand-picked authorities in their field. Content is constantly refined and updated with intelligence on new focus and user feedback.
- Materials include text, screenshots, interactive screenshots, exercises, tests and video.
Measure
- A comprehensive and user-friendly dashboard presents all main facets of user progress.
- For businesses a company-wide dashboard is also available which presents progress for all users within that business.
- IQ-style testing and scores (where 100 is the average) bring a precision to skills measurement and a basis on which to assess improvement. These tests are typically taken at the start and end of the course.
- Filtered accreditation is independently certified by the CPD (Continuing Professional Development) Certification Service.

BENEFITS OF FILTERED
Learner Benefits
Filtered is designed to strengthen your IT, business and presentation skills, improve your CV, prepare your next appraisal and increase your career prospects incredibly quickly. We find out what you already know and exclude it from your course, saving you time and boosting your productivity.
We do this by asking questions at the outset to test your current knowledge, filter out anything you already know and deliver the most relevant modules to you.
Business Benefits
Training can be costly as well as an enormous drain on time and resources. Filtered's solution achieves cost and time efficiency by removing known or unneeded subject matter – Filtered courses can be completed in approximately half the time of standard unfiltered courses.
Company dashboards allow businesses to track on monitor the progress and improvement of staff and provide real time data to allow you to see your return on investment.
Filtered Courses can also be customised both at a business and group level, allowing you to create highly focussed courses for different areas of the organisation.
