Great course and great instructor. Very clearly delivered and explained well. I have a much better understanding of the different features of Access and how I can apply this in my role.
(5.00 out of 5) KAREN S [ 24 August, 2020 ]
SO MUCH INFORMATION BUT IT HAS BEEN WORTHWHILE. IRONED OUT A LOT OF THE WRINKLES FROM THE BEGINNER'S COURSE. GOING STRAIGHT HOME TO START MY DATABASE!
(5.00 out of 5) Yukiko T [ 05 February, 2020 ]
The course updated me the latest information about Access 2016. The class was small, so it was very good to all of us. The instructor could focus on individually. Also I got the clue how to protect a database using macro. I will bring back that skills to create a loan administration database. Thank you.
