Access Essentials Course

Course Overview

The Access Essentials course is conducted over 2 days and is designed for people with no prior knowledge of Microsoft Access or relational databases. This course introduces relational database concepts and architecture which is the cornerstone of any database design. Once the table schema has been constructed and enforced students will be able to enter new data via forms, analyse the data using queries and present the data for presentation or printing using reports. With a solid grounding in the fundamentals of database design, students are able to implement their newly acquired skills from the training when developing Access databases in the future. With time and practice, the sky’s the limit.

  • Access Essentials training course
    As we have our own database at work created with Access Proficiency Information Management System - PIMS it has given me more confidence in navigating through the system without accidentally ruining something that I do not know how to fix. Thank you very much for an extremely informative two day course!
    - Hamish
  • Access Essentials training course
    The entire course was very helpful and relevant. I have had minimal experience with the 'behind the scenes' of Access so this was an excellent introduction to how the database works.

    Craig is a great presenter, very patient, and really tailored the course to our needs. I'd definitely recommend his company to colleagues and to my wider business network.

    I appreciated Craig's tolerance when I fell behind and had to re-trace sections where I had fallen behind. The comprehensive manual will be very useful when practicing the use of ACCESS.
