What participants thought
"I took the Access Basics course, and after completing the training I am able to extract the reports our organisation needs from our client registration system and present them in a professional way. It's good that the exercises you do during the course are easy to translate to what your own organisation needs."
R. Borkent, St. VO Rosa Manus - Access Basics“If you really want to learn this, it comes highly recommended. Do take Access for beginners first, so you have a good foundation.”
D. Dijkstra, FrieslandCampina- Access Advanced“Access Basics is much more than just learning to understand the layout and buttons; with the basics you can already do a lot with Access, which is enough for me to get started with it.”
M. Ronokarijo, Total Nederland N.V.- Access Basics“A course where time is taken to actually learn something.”

Frequently asked questions
- What do you learn in the Access Basics course?
- In the Access Basics course you learn to work with databases in Microsoft Access. You design tables, retrieve data using filters and queries, create data entry forms and put together clear reports. You also gain insight into the structure of databases and the terminology involved. Afterwards you will have mastered the most important functions of Access and understand how databases are built up in general.
- How long does the Access Basics course take and in which delivery format is it given?
- The Access Basics course lasts one day and is offered in the open learning format. This means you work through the course material at your own pace, while an experienced trainer is on hand to guide you and answer questions. You decide where to put the focus, so that the course matches your working situation and learning objectives.
- Do you need prior knowledge for the Access Basics course?
- No, the Access Basics course does not require any prior knowledge of databases. A basic knowledge of Windows and working with a mouse and keyboard is sufficient. You start with the structure of databases and build up step by step to creating tables, queries, forms and reports. Experience with Excel is useful, but certainly not a requirement.
- Do you receive a certificate after the Access Basics course?
- Yes, after completing the Access Basics course you receive a certificate of participation. This certificate confirms that you have attended the course and have command of the basic skills of Access, such as working with tables, queries, forms and reports. You can use this certificate to demonstrate within your organisation or on your CV that you can handle Access databases.
- Can the Access Basics course also be taken in-company or tailored to your needs?
- Yes, the Access Basics course can also be taken in-company or tailored to your needs. You decide on the location, date and group size, and the content is tailored to the databases and working processes within your organisation. This is ideal if several colleagues want to learn to work with Access at the same time, or if you want to practise with your own example databases from everyday practice.
- Which topics are covered in the Access Basics course?
- In the Access Basics course you learn to work with databases, design tables, sort, filter and index data, and build queries to retrieve information. You create entry forms that allow others without any knowledge of Access to enter data, and you put together clear reports. Working with multiple tables, primary keys and labels is also covered.
- What is the difference between learning Access and working with Excel for data analysis?
- Excel and Access solve different problems. Excel works with flat worksheets and is strong in calculations, charts and ad-hoc analyses on manageable datasets. Access is a relational database: you work with several tables linked to each other by keys, which prevents duplicate entry and keeps larger volumes of data manageable. In the Access Basics course you learn to design tables, use primary keys, retrieve data with queries, create entry forms for colleagues without any knowledge of Access, and generate reports. Choose Access if you have recurring questions about structured data, if several users enter data, or if your dataset becomes too large or too relational for Excel. An added benefit: after the course you will also understand the structure of other databases. The course is taught in open learning format and lasts one day.
- When do you choose Access and when does another database tool make more sense?
- Access is a good fit for situations in which you want to set up and manage a clear database yourself without any programming. Think of membership records, stock lists or customer data within a department. You work visually with tables, queries, forms and reports. For larger datasets, simultaneous use by many people or web-based applications, you will soon be better off with SQL Server, MySQL or a cloud solution. Compared with Excel, Access offers a genuine relational structure: you establish links between tables and avoid duplicate entry. Compared with a professional SQL database, Access is more accessible, because you do not have to write any code. In the Access Basics course you learn the structure of databases and the associated terminology. That knowledge also helps you when working with other databases.
