	      | Who
            is this course designed for? | This
            course is for those with little or even no experience of Access.
            They will probably have had experience of building a database in
            Excel. | The intermediate course is for those with some
            experience of using Access or who have been on the introductory
            course. | 
        
	      | What
            will they learn? | The introductory course covers building a single and
            a multiple table database with field formatting, input masks and
            simple sorting and filtering. Queries will be built linking the
            tables to produce datasets. Delegates will learn how to generate
            reports with the report wizard and to amend and format those report. | The intermediate course builds on the introductory
            course by adding forms, both for input and for database interrogation,
            more advanced queries and reports, and adds macros and VBA to
            automate routine tasks. Action queries, data export and import, as well as
            table links to other databases are also covered. | 
        
	      | How
            will they benefit? | They will be able to create, control and modify
            databases to hold varying types of data while avoiding the wasted
            effort of duplication. A normalised database hold the records in the
            most useful form for querying and reporting and they will be able to
            perform ad hoc, parameter based and pre-defined extracts with ease. | Skills and techniques learned in this course will
            enable delegates to design, build and maintain databases which can
            adapt to new requirements. They will understand the basics of using
            macros and VBA in automation and data integrity. | 
        
	      | Where
            will the course be held? | On your premises
            to avoid high travelling costs for your staff and to learn in a
            familiar PC environment. Courses are available in Access
            2000, Access 2003
            and Access 2007  | 
        
	      | Is
            it expensive? | No.
            With a group of six the cost per delegate could be as little as £50
            each. Detailed and illustrated notes accompany each course. | 
        
	      | Are
            there any other Access courses? | Yes. We can
            structure a course, or a series of courses, to accommodate your
            exact needs. You might want to control multiple users, add advanced
            controls to forms, or perhaps you need an introduction to Access
            Macros
            and VBA.  |
