Adam is helpful, very detailed. The pace is good, easy to follow. He has showed us short cuts which is very handy. Definitely learn heaps today about Access. Hopefully, when I am ready for it, to discover more on the next one, which is the advance level. Thanks so much Adam for these 2 days!

This course was excellent. I had never used Microsoft access and after the 2 days I'm very comfortable to start using it. The instructor went at a good pace and explained everything. If we had issues, he gave us the extra time to guide us through our problem. Given it was a virtual course, it still felt very one on one. Excellent!
