Course Information
Course Overview
A powerful database tool for beginners to create state of the art solutions. For Access 2016, 2019, 2021 & Access 365.
A spreadsheet is easy to maintain. You can sort filter and format data quite easily and quickly. But spreadsheets are not to deal with big amount of data. Microsoft Access is a relational database management system that helps to manage large datasets in a relational design. It helps to avoid data duplication. It’s the most widely used database by beginners in the world.
Microsoft Access is a menu-driven database program that includes a graphical user interface enabling novice users to enter, manage and report on their data. Data can be entered using a familiar spreadsheet or table interface and the program will automatically generate forms based upon the data and labels that have been entered.
Microsoft Access users can easily create and modify database queries and reports using the graphical user interface, and a menu-driven macro recorder to automate repetitive steps. Advanced users can customize Access applications using the Visual Basic for Applications "VBA" programming language common to all Microsoft Office applications. Access also includes many templates that can be easily modified by end users.
Microsoft Access is important because it dramatically decreases the amount of time required to exchange and leverage information between Microsoft Office applications. Access provides database management functionality for novice end users and is highly extensible with enterprise systems by professional developers.

This will help me get started with a stand alone sales database for my company which is now contained on spreadsheets. I can automate it for daily reporting and it will be much better. Thanks for a good learning presentation.

Highly Recommended I recently completed this course, and I highly recommend it for beginners, especially those with no prior knowledge of Access or Excel. If this describes you, please read this entire review to understand why this course is a standout choice. Having taken several other Access courses, I struggled to complete them as they did not meet my expectations. This course, however, exceeded them. Despite having many ideas for applications I manage in Excel but are better suited for Access, I still need to pursue advanced courses to implement these ideas effectively (my ideas and Excel applications are complex). The instructor managed to pack an incredible amount of practical information into a short course of less than 6 hours, making me wish it had been my first course. This course meets all my needs, covering critical information efficiently. It provides a solid foundation and practical insights, making it a course I wish I had started with. If any video or topic is unclear, I encourage you to watch it multiple times (I did). It is truly worth your time. For beginners new to Access and without Excel experience, the learning curve may be steeper. However, the clear and concise presentation makes it worth the effort. Watching videos multiple times can help fully understand the concepts. As an experienced Excel programmer, I found the course content familiar and manageable. Topics like the DLOOKUP function were well explained, and watching videos multiple times was beneficial. I took extensive notes, rewrote them, and continued until I fully grasped the concept, which was easier for me because of my familiarity with the VLOOKUP and XLOOKUP functions in Excel. This approach will take a lot of time upfront but will save significantly more time afterward. If you want to get up and running with MS Access, buy this course. It is the best one I have followed so far. For less than $20, you get nearly 6 hours of valuable content, which is an excellent investment. It's like paying less than the price of a cup of coffee per hour of excellent training. In summary, this course is highly recommended for its efficiency, practical information, and exceptional value. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced Excel programmer, you will find this course immensely beneficial.
