Course Overview
Get Your Database Up & Running Quickly!
Access has been around for over two decades and it’s not going anywhere due to it’s ability to be ‘up and running’ very quickly!
Sure, big companies like big databases that serve the company needs on an enterprise level but the value of access is about what can be done at a local level, in small teams and on smaller or temporary projects.
For example if you are working in a small company and you want to be able to manage your data whether that be some kind of sales data, expenses, marketing information or project focus data and you need to get up and running quickly with a database to handle it, well Access is definitely the tool for you.
You can be up and running in an afternoon with no need to get IT permissions or ask for a big budget! That’s why Access is known as a self-serving or end-user tool.
Given that is how Access is now used we have built a course with exactly that in mind, to teach you how to use Access for it to be a great end-user tool that you can get up and running quickly but also give your Database more advanced capability if you wish to.
In order to build the right course for you, we worked with Guy Vaccaro, who has been building Databases, including Access Databases for over two decades. Rather than build an unnecessarily long training, Guy has condensed his two decades of mastery in under 6.5 very focused hours, not learning unnecessary functionality so you can get up and running and maintaining your database in a very quick time frame!
As with all of our courses, if you are not happy, no worries, you have 30 days to get a full, no questions asked refund!

It has been a great course so far. I would say that a big ask from me is that activities are created for us to do along the way (rather than just copying your examples) to enable greater learning.

I needed a refresher course and this worked for me having spent several years as a VB and VBA programmer. The core subjects that I needed to revisit, without a lot of the details that I already had well in hand, were presented in a comprehensive, cohesive and clear manner. The only thing I would change is, knowing that the majority of students will be those in the US, to translate some of the items into terms that are more adaptive to US students such as zip code instead of postal code. While a small thing there are several spots which could use a more US friendly approach.
