  • The 2-Hour Database

    clock-clip-art-alarm-clock fr ClipArt PandaSmall businesses need a database to keep track of hundreds and often thousands of clients, inventory items, and transactions. But most databases are too complex for
    business owners to handle on their own. Using simple templates, this course will show you how to get an efficient database up and running in a relatively short time. The course will engage students in handson
    training in Microsoft Access, a powerful general-purpose database system. Students will learn how to import data
    from Excel, manage data tables, create informative queries, redesign data-entry forms, and generate effective reports. The course will conclude by pointing students
    to online resources that will help with their future database challenges.
