Microsoft Access is the powerful relational database in Microsoft Office / Office 365. This information management tool lets users easily create tables, queries, forms and reports, and connects those elements together with macros. Access can also be used to analyze large amounts of information and manage related data.
ONLC has Access classes for those new to the program on up through advanced topics that will expand your knowledge of relational database design and allow you to write advanced queries, structure existing data, share data across applications, and customize reports. There's also a VBA class in which users learn to write rich solutions with advanced data manipulation and user control.
Many of these Access classes can be used to prep for Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) Access certification. Becoming MOS certified proves your Access skills and dedication to your career. Get started learning Microsoft Access with classes at ONLC where you get to learn in the format that works best for you!

MOS Access Certification Exam
MOS exams are performance-based and include multiple projects to gauge skills. Microsoft changes exam elements frequently to maintain integrity. As such, training alone may not cover all exam topics. It is recommended candidates review the exam guide before attempting the authorized exam.
MOS authorized exams are through Certiport. Certiport has approved ONLC to provide a test from home option for current ONLC students only. ONLC students should complete the Home Exam request form to schedule their at home authorized exam (other restrictions and requirements may apply). Those who prefer a testing site and non-ONLC students should use Certiport's list of testing locations to schedule an exam.
When you pass the authorized MOS exam you will receive a digital badge for that credential. Anyone who views your badge can select it to learn about your skills and verify its authenticity.

Microsoft Access Versions 365 / 2019 / 2016
These versions are very similar. The difference is mostly a matter of how you're accessing the software. Microsoft Access 365 is accessed via the cloud. You pay a monthly subscription to use the software. Since it's not static on your device, you'll get updates to the software when they happen. On the otherhand, 2019 / 2016 and earlier PC versions are purchased outright and installed directly onto your computer (aka "on-premise").
Access features and functions are the same no matter which of these versions you're using and as such students with any of those versions can attend the same classes.
