How it works

Filtered provides online courses that maximise the impact on its users and their businesses, while minimizing the time you spend training. It does this by stripping out anything that you don't need to learn:

By focusing on content that is of most use in real businesses;
And by adapting the syllabus to each user, removing topics they are already confident with or don't need in their own work.

It's this second step that is the job of the 'Filter' – the algorithm that selects content appropriate to each user.

The Filter

The Filter removes training material that you don't need – leaving a much-distilled and highly relevant course. The courses in Excel,PowerPoint and Word are divided into modules – typically over 100 per course – and it's from these that the Filter makes its selection. The Filter removes modules because they aren't necessary for your work or because you are already proficient in them. So your end result, when it comes to modules to take, may look like the graphic below.

Just what you need to know

To do this the Filter first asks questions to understand how you want to use your training – what is it that you need to do, what will your work involve?

For example, working in financial services as a bookkeeper, you need to become an expert at Microsoft Excel and expect to be analysing data all the time. The Filter will assess that there's a high likelihood that you need to know the contents of modules covering the use of PivotTables. The Filter asks:

Which broad area do you work in?
How good at (for instance) Excel would you like to be?
How frequently do you need to perform some characteristic applications of the training? (For example, how frequently do you need to reorganise or 'clean' data?)

Just what you need to learn

Once the Filter has established what you need to know, it moves on to what you know already. It asks a set of questions to assess your current knowledge and proficiency.

The first of these questions gauges your confidence at the characteristic tasks, and your overall facility with the application. The Filter then tests your knowledge objectively, with multiple-choice questions. Together these questions allow the Filter to estimate the likelihood that you already know the material in each of the course modules.

So again for example, if you say you are already an expert at analysing data, and answer questions on PivotTables correctly, then it will assess there's a high likelihood that you already know the contents of our PivotTables material, and some of it will be filtered out of your recommended syllabus.

At the end of the Filter process (less than five minutes) you will be presented with your filtered course. You then have the option of reviewing the Filter's work and choosing for yourself whether to accept the recommendations – adding back in any modules you would like to study, or stripping out any you don't want to cover.
