Take Your Microsoft Access Skills to the Next Level

With every ZandaX Microsoft course, you get a workbook and exercises (downloadable from the “Introduction” module at the start of each course). There are two types of exercises: first of all, exercises to match the lessons (called Lesson 1.1, Lesson 1.2, etc) where you can "follow along" with the instructor, and also Skill Sharpeners, where you are given exercises that will reinforce your learning. These all correspond exactly to the manual.  So remember to download them, and the manual, from the "Introduction" module at the start of the course. People tell us that the Skill Sharpeners are a real bonus!
