Default Design help for community group database

I am trying to set up a database to track Girl Guide leaders in my Region
along with their training and awards history. Each leader has another leader
as a Guiding Partner (or mentor) and this has to be reflected in their
training history. Each leader's qualifications need to be "appraised" every 3
years and I need to be able to track when that is due. I also need to be able
to get reports such as which leaders have certains training qualifications
(modules) etc. Would appreciate any help.

So far I have set up the following tables:

LEADERS TABLE:
MemberID (using Girl Guides membership number, not autonumber) primary key
First Name
Last Name
District
Division
Region
Position
Home Phone
Work Phone
Mobile
Email
Address
City
State
Postcode

QUALIFICATION TABLE:
QualID (autonumber) primary key
Module Type
Start Date
Completion Date
Expiry Date

TRAINING COURSES TABLE
TrainingID (autonumber) primary key
Course Name
Date attended

AWARDS TABLE:
AwardsID (autonumber) Primary key
Award Type
Date Received

GUIDING PARTNERS TABLE
GuidingPartnerID (autonumber) Primary key

This is as far as I have gone as I haven't yet got my head around how to do
the relationships, particularly in regards to foreign keys and object
dependancies. I understand the concept of foreign keys, but not sure how to
apply them with my scenario. The examples I have seen only have 3 tables so
it is fairly simple to apply them.

I have only a very basic knowledge of databases and I am getting confused by
all the "techy" talk in the various online tutorials I have read, so I need
advice is fairly simple language, sorry.

1)Am I on the right track? (ie have I designed the tables the best way)
2)Do I need any more tables for the relationships?


Thanks for any help
Anne
