Introduction

Although 21.5 million workers use technology as part of their jobs, only two in five have ever received any formal IT training.

The productivity benefits of IT are maximised if people have the right skills to use the packages available to them. This course will help you unlock the power of Microsoft Access.

Access 2003 is a database management program that makes it easy to store and find information, analyse data and create accurate reports.

Building on a basic understanding of database theory and planning, this course will explain how to create tables and populate them with data, organise information, use filters and sort data, create relationships between tables, and import data from other sources.

Who is the course for?

Access 2003 is ideal for anyone who needs to use Access to manage product stock, customer, or any other data, including administrative, specialist and customer service staff.

The easy-to-follow, step-by-step format is perfect for people who are completely new to Access, while the high level of detail will suit those who have a basic understanding but want to learn more about the different features and functions.

There aren’t any formal entry requirements, but familiarity with spreadsheets and Windows-based packages is expected.

To get the most from this course access to Microsoft Access is advised. For a different version of Access, we also offer courses in Access 2000 and Access XP. To learn how to use databases for a variety of tasks in the office or at home, why not consider ECDL 5 - Databases, which can be used to work towards the ECDL qualification.

Course features

You can start your online course straight away and access it at any time, providing you have access to a computer with an internet connection. The course is available for six months from the date first accessed.

The course will show you how Access’s features and functions work, and then you can practice them for yourself. You are in control at all times, so you can work through the course at your own pace and focus on the modules you are most interested in, or least familiar with. As you’re working through the course, you can print specific sections out to refer back to later if you wish.

When you’ve finished the course, you can complete an online assessment to put your new skills to the test. The results of this test can be printed out, as a record of how well you’ve done.
