Overview

Microsoft Access is one of the most widely used database management tools, and this course is designed to give learners the skills needed to build, manage, and analyse databases effectively. Starting with the basics, learners will familiarise themselves with the Microsoft Access interface, understanding how to navigate the layout and how different elements of the database work together. One of the first key concepts covered is how tables relate to one another, as setting up these relationships is fundamental to ensuring that data is properly linked and that your database functions correctly.

As the course progresses, you will learn how to create forms for data input, allowing you to collect data easily and store it in a structured manner. You’ll also learn how to build queries, which help you extract specific results from the database based on set criteria. Reports are an essential part of any database system, and this course will teach you how to generate reports that summarise and present data in an easy-to-read format. Additionally, learners will gain essential skills in data validation, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the information entered into the database. With the focus on practical applications, this course will provide you with the tools to automate tasks with macros, making database management even more efficient.

Description

The Microsoft Access Training course is designed to guide learners through the process of building, managing, and analysing databases. You will start by learning the basic layout of Microsoft Access, understanding how tables relate to one another, and setting up relationships that link information correctly. From there, the course moves into creating forms for data input, building queries to extract specific results, and generating reports that make data easier to read and act on.

You’ll also gain skills in data validation, ensuring the information entered into databases is accurate and reliable. The course includes training on filtering records, designing user-friendly forms, and using built-in functions to improve database functionality. One key area covered is how to use queries to extract answers from large sets of data—helping in tasks such as sales reporting, inventory checks, and customer database maintenance. By the end of the course, you’ll also explore how to automate tasks with macros to save time and minimise errors.

The structure of the course ensures you gain familiarity with Microsoft Access while developing the confidence to use it in an office or data support role. This course supports entry into roles across administration, data handling, and support services where information management is essential.
