"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."

St. VO Rosa Manus10.0

“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.”

“The Access basics course is a very useful course if you are unfamiliar with the program. It starts from first principles, and even if you have little experience with computers at all it is still perfectly manageable. The coursebook describes step by step and in great detail how to work with the program.”

R. Stolker
Deliflor Chrysanten B.V.9.0

"Clear course. The textbooks match the programme perfectly. The material described in the textbooks is more than clear. The exercises are clear and easy to complete with the explanations found in the book. The trainer is at a level where no question goes unanswered. The answers are clear."

Frequently asked questions about Access Basics in-company

Where does the in-company Access Basics course take place?

Wherever suits you: at your office, at one of our training locations or online. You also choose the date.

Can the content be tailored to our organisation?

Yes. Before the course we discuss with you what the group can already do, where things go wrong in practice and what should be different afterwards. The trainer uses examples and exercises from your own work.

How large can the group be?

That depends on the course. For a skills course we prefer to work with a small group, so that everyone can really practise. If more people are involved, we schedule several groups or set up a fixed programme.

What does Access Basics in-company cost?

You receive a fixed price for the whole group, in a tailored quote. For a group this works out cheaper than booking everyone individually. For comparison: a place on the scheduled course costs € 1050,- excl. VAT per participant.

Can the course be delivered in English?

Yes. For in-company courses we deliver the training in the language of your choice, Dutch or English. Mention it in your request.

Do participants receive a certificate?

Yes, every participant receives a certificate of attendance afterwards.

How do I request a quote?

Via the quote form: state the course, the number of participants and roughly where and when you would like it. An adviser will then contact you.

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 takes two days and is offered in an 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.
