Access training reviews

Access classes - 5 rating

Access classes rating: 4.8 stars from 1932 reviewers

"Chris was a great teacher! I took all three Access classes back to back to back and had no problems advancing from beginner to advanced with his guidance. I highly recommend diving in!"

"Chris was a great instructor! I came in with a limited amount of ACCESS knowledge and I am now walking out with enough ACCESS training to begin queries and reports that I can then exercise for my work requirements. Thanks, Chris! I will now recommend that my company also sends me to LEVEL 2 training ... I hope to be here in August!"

"Chris was really personable and made the class enjoyable. The one-on-one session was a great way to learn the concepts more effectively. I am highly considering taking another course with him. Thank you."

"One of the best courses I've ever taken! Chris was a fantastic instructor. Very thorough and easy to follow. I'd recommend him to anyone at the LA County Health Agency in a heartbeat."

"Chris was a wonderful teacher. Access had confused me in the past... but he put it in a way that I would understand! I really enjoyed this class... and would definitely recommend it to other coworkers. "
