I am happy with the basic knowledge the i obtain for the past 2 days. However, it will be valuable to be able to do the advance course because the basic course only cover 1/2 of what needed at work. Thank you Alex.
(4.90 out of 5) Anabela N [ 30 October, 2018 ]
Very useful, just in my case I would rather use existing data, and not have to enter data,or create labels, as i will need to use it to create master reports and not for data entry or for even to maintain contacts.
(5.00 out of 5) Shirley T [ 29 October, 2018 ]
Instructor knew exactly how to get to the right level for understanding. Great fundamentals to appreciate how Access works. I feel I shall be able to return to work and immediately get value from learnings.
