Why study this course

The skills and knowledge acquired in this Microsoft Access course are sufficient to design and create a multi-table database, automate operations using macros, and have a general understanding of the programming environment in Microsoft Access.

This course builds on the introductory skills of Microsoft Access - Level 1 and the more complex topics learned in Microsoft Access - Level 2.

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.
