Employee Training Database
Hello,
I'm in a position of having to develop some type of training db for my company. I must admit I'm not the most enthusiastic MS Access person but have been trying to work my way through. I've taken a few classes but the information covered was not relevant to what I need. It seems so complicated building the different tables and then making sure everything is linked together. I that something was mentioned about classroom management. Where can I find out more about that? Any and all help greatly appreciated! |

... for a modest fee. You can't be serious. Surely *no one* could be as slow a learner as you appear to be. |

Employee Training Database
Hi Shon.
There is quite a bit of work in setting up a training database. As a minimum, you probably need: - a table of persons (trainers and trainers) - a table of units (the subjects taught from time to time) - a table of classes (each time a subject is offered) - a table of enrollees (who is enrolled in a class) You probabaly also need to identify peoples roles, and what units are expected for each role. From that you can deduce what units each person should have covered. This will let you identify the gaps (what units they have not covered, or units where their competency has expired.) There may be other tables to track attendance, assesssment criteria, evaluation of each person's criteria, and qualifications/competences earned. -- Allen Browne - Microsoft MVP.

Thank you so much for responding to my request. This sounds way more
complicated than I think my schedule allows. Can you recommend any software that may help me? Thanks again "Allen Browne" wrote: Hi Shon.

Shon,
If I may be direct, you've not really defined what you are trying to do. Also, you have to decide whether or not you want to learn Access well enough to create your application or not. It will be work and a struggle, but for someone with that objective, worth it. From your initial comment plus saying that you want some software to do it for you, it sounds like you are saying "NOT". If so, then you're on the wrong track in asking for tips on how to do what you don't want to do. While I certainly wouldn't go to a forum abuser, you might use a search engine to find an Access developer to do it for you. Or you might start with spreadsheets or Word processor tables that lists courses, instances of people taking courses etc. Not a good platform for data that is inherently relational, but it's something. |

..Shon,
There is another way - open Access, select NEW from the File Menu, go to Templates Online and select Classroom Management. Access creates the database for you. Once that is done, you can study how it works and learn from that while you have fulfilled your obligation to the company.
