Access (Level 1)

Course Overview

This 2-day course covers the basic skills and concepts students need to use Microsoft Access productively and efficiently. Data is everywhere. Most job roles today involve some form of data management.

Virtually everyone is affected in some way by the need to manage data. A relational database application such as Microsoft Access can help you and your organization with this task.

The Access - Level 1 Class focuses on the design and construction of an Access database —viewing, navigating, searching, and entering data in a database, as well as basic relational database design and creating simple tables, queries, forms, and reports.

This course is the first part of a three-course series that covers the skills needed to perform database design and development in Access. For comprehensive certification training, students should complete the Level 1, 2 and 3 courses for Access.
