Microsoft Access Developers Training Course

£795 + VAT for most venues (£895 + VAT for London)

3 days

The first (and most important) part of any Access database is getting the design right, which is where this 3-day course begins. You'll learn about primary keys and relationships, and find out how to create an Access database consisting of multiple linked tables.

The course then goes on to show how to create queries (to display data from one or more tables) and a front-end to your system, using forms, reports and the VBA coding language.

If you've been given the job of creating an Access database - and you're not sure where to start - this is the course for you!

We don't have any dates scheduled for this course, but we may well consider adding them - it's always worth asking (or consider an onsite Access training course).
