Access 2021/365 Relational Database Management provides the concepts and skills for the advanced use of Microsoft Access. This includes how to create advanced queries, forms, and reports, how to create macros, how to import and export data, and how to manage your databases.

Students will benefit most from this course if they want to be an advanced user of Access.

The course assumes students have completed Access Relational Database Design, or have equivalent skills in using Access.

Which Access series is right for me?

Our Relational Database Design and Relational Database Management courses are meant for students who want to build Access databases from the ground up. The first course is two days and includes in-depth, hands-on exercises that teach effective relational database development. Any student who completes these courses will be able to create and maintain a database for a small business or other organization.

Level 1 and Level 2, on the other hand, are intended for students who will be working with existing databases rather than building them from scratch. In other words, these courses are best suited to database end users rather than database designers/managers.
