Microsoft's Access is a powerful relational database management application that is included in Microsoft Office / Office 365. This information management tool by Microsoft lets users easily manage business data using tables, queries, forms and reports, and connects those elements together with macros. Access databases can also be used to analyze large amounts of information and manage related business 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 from databases. There's also an Access VBA class in which users learn to write rich solutions with advanced data manipulation and user control.
Our Microsoft 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 and value to business. Start learning Microsoft Access with classes at ONLC where you get to learn data analysis in the format that works best for you!

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.
