People build financial models in lots of different ways, which is great until you need to share your models with someone else or you find yourself having to unpick a colleague's complex calculations!
FAST stands for Flexible, Appropriate, Structured and Transparent. Behind these four characteristics are FAST's in-depth financial-modelling principles and rules.
Learning the FAST Standard will help you (and your team) to build financial models in a more structured and consistent way, while increasing efficiency and reducing the risk of using spreadsheets within critical business processes.
As FAST-accredited training providers, we have focused this dedicated online course on the key FAST principles necessary to pass the 90-minute FAST Level 1 Certification exam.
The course is delivered through a specialist online-learning platform and is packed with video tutorials and practical exercises. It offers you flexible online training with direct support and feedback from our team of FAST-accredited trainers and qualified accountants.
You can start the course whenever you choose, and progress through it at your own speed.
