Microsoft Access training provides a powerful set of tools that are sophisticated enough for professional data managers, yet easy to learn for new users interested in storing and accessing large amounts of data.  This is often the next step in data management after Excel has maximized its potential to connect information.  While the entire first day of Access training focuses on tables, or how the data is stored. The introductory course also offers participants the opportunity to explore what a Database can do, how it may be applied and best practices to ensure the database scales up.  During the second half of the class, many issues common to new database developers, such as relationships, are identified and resolved.  This course is recommended for anyone new to Microsoft Access.

There are no prerequisites for this series. However, Excel training is reccomended through advanced levels. Access is an advanced database application. Excel training will introduce you to concepts and working in tables.

Loved the way Dan uses analogies to explain concepts! I was afraid of Access, but your videos made it easy.
