Why study this course

The skills and knowledge acquired in this Microsoft Access course are sufficient to be able to ensure that data is entered correctly, to create more sophisticated and complex queries, and be introduced to some basic automation techniques involving macros.

This course builds on the introductory skills of Microsoft Access - Level 1. You may also be interested in our Microsoft Access - Level 3 course which covers more advanced topics.

Note: Access 2016, Access 2019, Access 2021, and Access 365 are all desktop application versions of Microsoft Access. Access 2016, Access 2019, and Access 2021 are the perpetual, bought-outright, stand-alone versions of the software; Access 365 is the subscription-based version. Anyone working with any of these versions will be able to successfully complete this course. Throughout this course you will be using the desktop app; the course does not cover use of the web/online app.
