Overview

Microsoft Access offers a powerful, feature-packed solution for building a robust “data landing pad.” This 10-hour video training course gives your team the knowledge and skills you need to make this cost effective and easy-to-use database application work for your organisation.

Access is now much more than a way to create desktop databases. It’s an easy-to-use tool for quickly creating browser-based database applications that help you run your business. Your data is automatically stored in a SQL database, so it’s more secure than ever, and you can easily share your applications with colleagues.

In this course we will cover the basics of Access working up to more intermediate uses of Access. Areas to be covered include: setting up a database, exploring the ribbon, understanding macros and much more.
