Well paced, definitely better (for us) in person, Adam was good at explaining and going over topics if need be.
this course is very well structured and helpful. Special Thanks much to Alex for the great training section.
Alex was wonderful! Full of knowledge and experience. I felt like there was a lot more content and things to do in this course in comparison to the beginner course. I'll definitely be resitting to ensure I absorb as much information as possible.
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.
