Important Information Regarding Database Design

It is not possible to be a proficient Access user without also understanding how to correctly design and implement a relational database. We do not list "Database Design" as a separate topic in our course outline. Design issues are covered throughout the course so that by the end of the course each delegate is extremely proficient in both the advanced use of all Access features and relational database design best-practice.

As well as learning Access you'll also pick up many "golden rules" of database design - things we've discovered the hard way after over 20 years of designing and implementing commercial databases for some of the world's largest companies.

At the end of this course delegates will not only understand Dr Codd's Third Normal Form rules but also appreciate why they are important... and the problems that will occur if they are not observed. You'll also learn some of The Smart Method's database design rules that you will never find in a textbook! Read the outline below but remember that you'll come away from this course with far more than simply the topics listed.
