Microsoft Access for Office 365: Part 1

Data is everywhere. Most job roles today involve some form of data management. Virtually everyone is affected in some way by the need to manage data. A relational database application such as Microsoft® Access® can help you and your organization with this task. This course is the first part of a three-course Specialization that covers the skills needed to perform database design and development in Access. This course may be a useful component in your preparation for the Microsoft Access Expert (Microsoft 365 Apps and Office 2019): Exam MO-500 certification exam. This course is designed for students looking to establish a foundational understanding of Access, including the skills necessary to create a new database, construct data tables, design forms and reports, and create queries. In this course, you will: navigate within the Access application environment, create a simple database, and customize Access configuration options; organize and manage data stored within Access tables; use queries to join, sort, and filter data from different tables; use forms to make it easier to view, access, and input data; and create and format custom reports. This course requires that you have Microsoft Access installed on a Windows PC. The course setup instructions provided in the first module of the course go into more detail about the hardware and software requirements.
