MS Access Essentials Skills Training

Course details

A database is a collection of records – such as those for a doctor’s patients, a commercial company’s customers or members of a sports club. Access is a program which allows us to create and manage these records and use them for analysis (such as market research), reports and for contact with the people whose details are recorded (by email or letter for example).

Create and manage your own databases

Microsoft Access enables you to create your own database to gather and input the type of data you need. It then provides you with a range of tools to process that data into useful output information.
