Microsoft Access Querying Training Course

£375 + VAT for most venues (£495 + VAT for London)

1 day

This one-day course is aimed at people who don't know how to use Access, but have a database that they want to interrogate. The course explains the principles underlying your corporate database (if you bring a copy in, we'll do much more than this), then shows how to create queries to get at the data it contains. Learn how to select data, how to aggregate it and how to create expressions, then at the end of the course see a brief introduction to how forms and reports work.

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).

Sample customer feedback

"The manuals and other materials provided are excellent, the low number of attendees allows a more personal service and helps tailor the course to our needs which is fantastic."

Mark Hickey (Galliford Try Environmental)

"Amazing trainer and very relevant content of the training. Thank you so much."

Henrieta Suchankova (PricewaterhouseCoopers Services Ltd.)

"Really enjoyed the course, great instructor who went above and beyond expectations."

Thomas Dickinson (Argos Ltd)

"The quality of manuals, examples and trainer were excellent. The trainer was happy to move off course to answer questions and tailor the content, this was great."

James Lodge (The Office of the Director of Public Health)

"I would like to say the training was absolutely fantastic, the trainer was brilliant and was able to answer any questions regardless of the context or complexity. The session was intense but well-paced and there was a great deal of flexibility so that it could be tailored to the three of us on the course! I had high expectations but was still surprised at the number of topics I learned including some interesting ad-hoc topics which were fascinating. I am going to beg my managers for as much budget as possible so that I can come back for more courses in the near future!! Thank You very much! "

You should already be a confident Windows user to attend this course, but do not need to have used Access before. Note that most people find Access harder to learn than Excel.
