From a recent Student Review:

5 Stars - I finally have a grasp of Access and relational databases!

Thanks to Bruce's course, I can confidently say I have a good grasp of what Microsoft Access is, how to use it effectively and how it differs from Microsoft Excel.

Bruce is clear and concise in his lectures. I enjoyed the hands-on/real world example style of teaching with downloadable Access & Excel files. - Joey Sullivan

  • Create tables and learn how to properly structure them.

Another Student Review:

5 Stars - Fantastic Course!

I have been trying to come to grips with Access for some time now, but each time I became frustrated and eventually gave up. This course is structured in a way that gripped my interest and motivated me to complete it. Bruce has extensive knowledge and the way that he presents the material, makes it easy to follow and understand and it is a very valuable resource. - John Ovens

These Powerful Skills Will Skyrocket Your Value in the Marketplace!

By learning how to use Access WITH Excel, you will rise to a level of skill that few others have. Learning Access gives you incredible power over your data, no matter how large your data files are. Nightmare editing tasks will no longer bother you as you use your knowledge of queries to update thousands of records in minutes! Employers are waking up to the power of Access and those who have this knowledge will be in high demand with your current employer or other businesses. The practical skills taught in this class will give you the capability to double or triple your productivity!

There is a HUGE need in the marketplace for people with these skills! This is your opportunity to break away from the pack of people who try and do everything with Excel, instead of learning that for many tasks, Access is the proper tool. This could be your shortest path to increasing your income!

From a Student Review:

"This is an amazing class/series. Bruce does a fantastic job explaining each concept and does so with such concern for the student. Just in presentation one can identify that this is a passion for Bruce and not just read from a script. I cannot wait to put this education to use within my career!! Thank you for creating this material!" - Rick WIlliams

Content and Overview

All you need to do the course is basic experience with Windows programs. If you have or are using Excel, that is even better. Much of the course is presented as a comparison to Excel and explains what tasks each program is best suited for.

Even though there are many lectures and several hours of content, each section focuses on one set of concepts so it is easy to do one section at a time, when your schedule allows. You will find that each chapter builds on the previous one as you build your understanding of Access, one step at a time.

By the time you have finished the course you will have done so much with Access and it will be so familiar that you will be ready to tackle your own data tasks immediately, putting your new learned skills into practical use and impressing your boss and coworkers.

The course is complete with working files and finished samples for everything that is covered. You will be able to work alongside the author as you work through each lecture and will receive a verifiable certificate of completion upon finishing the course.

From Another Student Review:

5 Stars - Absolutely the Best Course I Have Taken

I am not one to write many reviews, but when a course has reached beyond my expectations, I had no choice but to give compliments to the author Mr. Bruce Myron.

The content of the course was extremely comprehensive and informative in which every student will walk away having the best foundation of MS Access one can get. The clarity and tone of each video had me eager to learn more and has already assisted me with applications I had at work. With the knowledge I have gained, not only will it help separate myself from my co-workers, but allow me to increase my income over time.

The greatest treat one will get in this course is the interaction from Mr. Myron. He is absolutely the difference maker from any other course I had taken and made me feel that I was not alone while taking this course. I cannot wait to begin the other courses to get to the next level of my career.

Trust me, when it comes to learning MS Access from the ground up through Mr. Myron's courses, starting with Excel To Access: Intro to Access for Excel Users, one will be ecstatic with the results. - David Richardson

Another Student Review:

5 Stars - Brilliant piece of work!

Thanks Bruce for making these lectures. They are very well done, relevant and clear. I have literally copied line for line of many of these lectures into a project i am working on. Highly recommended also are the other videos which also contain golden nuggets: Access to Excel to Outlook, Access to Excel-Instant Reports and pivot tables, Microsoft Access vba for non programmers. And as a bonus, Bruce has been very helpful in answering, guiding and explaining content from his lecture when i asked for clarification.

Brilliant Bruce, thanks again - Steven Kawuma

Required Software

For me as someone who had zero knowledge and experience in MS Access this was a very good course to get not just basic but also advanced knowledge. Bruce is well experienced and you can just feel it. If I have to find a con, this would be it. At some parts he spends to much time for editing, although I consider this as important, but in the course it's just important to get the message. All in all. BRAVO

Hello, my name is Bruce Myron.  I am a self employed Access programmer and general computer consultant to small and medium sized businesses. I got into programming because I was tired of all the jargon most programmers use and how they don't seem to care about business.

"Technology is great but I've always been more interested in how it can be used to make companies more profitable." - Bruce

I live in Portland, Oregon and have many long term relationships with local businesses. Many of the systems I have built for these companies are critical to the success of the business. My specialty is taking the needs of the business and translating them into a system that facilitates, rather than obstructs, what they are trying to do.

I have also spent time as a full time trainer providing group classes on the Microsoft Office programs.

In my opinion the computer industry as a whole is a colossal failure in helping businesses solve their problems. I listen carefully to the needs expressed by my clients and then deliver the simplest, most flexible solution possible.

Over the years I have found that many of the techniques I have used enabled me to survive and thrive when many others have tried the computer programming business and failed.

My goal is to show my students how to create systems that business will value and that will create long term income.
