Instructional Material Requirements:
The instructional materials required for this course are included in enrollment and will be available online. Build, edit, and maintain databases in Microsoft Access 2019 using tables, reports, forms, and queries to give you fast access to all your important information. This hands-on course for beginners provides the skills to create an effective database for any type of information at home or on the job. Getting to Know Access 2019In this lesson, you'll find out what Access is and how individuals, businesses, and organizations use it to store information. You'll begin to build an Access database, including all the components that turn a list of records into reports, forms, and queries. You'll start by opening the application and creating a new database. Controlling Your Access Table FieldsIt's time to lay down the law! In this lesson, you'll impose rules that automatically fill an Access table field with a preset value or that automatically insert the symbols commonly included in phone numbers. You'll also set up rules that require allow only certain kinds of data in certain fields. With just a few minutes of work, you can make data entry simpler, clearer, and practically error-frees. Creating Tables and RelationshipsYou'll create additional tables for the class database, customize them along the way, and then build relationships between them. This all paves the way for later database features, such as reports, queries, and forms that draw from multiple tables in the database. Building Powerful FormsIn this lesson, you'll use forms for data entry and for viewing records in your tables. You'll meet the Form Wizard, which makes form building fast and easy and which allows you to select one or more tables' fields to include. You'll also learn how to change the form layout. Adding Versatility to FormsIn this lesson, you'll add buttons and controls to forms. You'll also adjust table relationships to support the creation of multi-table forms, which paves the way to creating queries and reports that draw data from more than one table. Interviewing Your DatabaseUsing queries to sort, filter, and search your database is one of the most important skills you'll master in this course. In this lesson, you'll create queries that search for specific data. You'll also customize how Access displays that data. By following the instructions step by step, you'll first become familiar with the process, and then you'll get to create a query on your own! Taking Queries to the Next LevelA query that puts specific records in order or finds all the records that have a general piece of information in common is, well, pretty common. Being able to create that kind of query is a great foundation skill, but it won't help you find a very specific record. Nor will it let you search for records within a span of dates or other numeric values. It also won't help you exclude certain records, reducing a large pool of data to just those records you need to see. In this lesson, you'll create queries that give you true power to search your database. Multi-Table Query ControlIn this lesson, you'll learn to plan, build, and use queries that pull data from more than one table at a time. This gives you more power over your data and allows you to build a great foundation for truly customized reports. Reporting on Your TablesReports are easy to create and to customize. In this lesson, you'll build a simple report using the Report Wizard. Then you'll change the report's appearance, using layout view and design view. These skills provide the foundation to create and design any report you may need on any data in your database. Creating Query-Based ReportsIn this lesson, you'll create reports that are based on the results of queries you create to sort and filter your database. Because queries can combine data from multiple tables, filter for specific data, and sort the results, your report reflects just the data that meet the query's criteria. This makes truly customized reporting possible—and quite simple. Mastering Report DesignIn this lesson, you'll plan and create a completely customized report, using a specialized query that controls which data the report includes. You'll add fields that perform calculations on your data. You'll customize your report's layout, too, using design view's many tools for controlling the structure and appearance of your data. Automating Your Database With MacrosBuilding macros (short programs that perform a series of steps) helps you speed up and create consistency in your more repetitive Access tasks. From opening a form to running a report to building a new record in a table, macros eliminate redundant procedures by turning them into something you can do with one click. What you will learn
- Planning and building a database consisting of multiple tables
- Creating logical relationships between database tables
- Designing effective and powerful data entry forms
- Building efficient and useful queries to find and organize records
- Generation of professional-looking reports
How you will benefit
- You will be able to build and customize Access databases
- Existing Access databases will make more sense
- Gain knowledge to take a stronger role in the database maintenance
- Design professional-looking forms and reports

Instructional Material Requirements:
The instructional materials required for this course are included in enrollment and will be available online. Develop essential skills in Microsoft Excel 2016 to better consolidate, analyze, and report on data. This course provides expert instruction and hands-on exercises that will help you easily master analysis tools, PivotTables, conditional formatting, and other advanced features. Customizing ExcelIn this course, you'll explore Microsoft Excel's sometimes-overlooked and advanced features. You'll learn how to use data analysis tools and techniques to improve your decision making and practice generating accurate data more quickly. By the end of this course, you'll be well prepared to contribute more value to your organization with your advanced understanding of Excel. To kick things off, you'll spend this first lesson learning how you can modify Excel to streamline processes and make your work easier. You'll use the Excel Options dialog box to customize some of Excel's behind-the-scenes behavior, set up your Quick Access Toolbar, and take a look at the status bar and its customizable features. Mastering these processes will lay the foundation for your exploration of advanced topics throughout the course. Table ManagementIn this lesson, you'll explore some great table management features in Excel, learn how to use data forms with Excel databases, and look at a few alternative database techniques. You'll be glad to know that working with tables has become much easier in this latest version of Excel. Now, instead of applying filters, total rows, and formats separately, you can perform these actions through a single user interface. You'll also learn how data forms provide a more user-friendly method for adding, deleting, and editing records in a table, and practice using a data form to search for and view records that match specific criteria. The lesson will wrap things up with a brief look at some of the practical applications for data forms. Data ValidationIn this lesson, you'll tackle data validation techniques—your first line of defense against incorrect or missing data and the logical next step after data forms. You'll practice using whole number, decimal, date, time, list, and other forms of validation. After that, you'll explore the possibilities of custom validation, which allows you to apply validation to a cell or range of cells based on a formula you create. The possibilities for using it are limitless! You'll also learn how to create input messages and error alerts to guide the user's data entry, how to keep track of validation rules, and how to apply a custom validation rule to other cells so that you don't have to create it all over again. Custom ControlsIn the first three lessons, you learned what you might call intro-level advanced Excel topics, and now it's time to head into more complex territory. So in this lesson, you'll start working with custom controls—graphical objects that help facilitate data input and are sure to impress users. You'll start by getting your Ribbon set up to work with custom controls and then walk through some practice exercises. You'll learn how to create standard and drop-down list boxes, check boxes, option buttons, and group boxes. You'll also master the process of creating a dynamic list box, which allows you to control the values in one list box based on the values chosen by your user in a separate custom control. Conditional FormattingIn this lesson, you'll discover how to use conditional formatting (and not just creating validation based on cell values!). You'll do a quick review of that process, just as a refresher, but after that you're going to focus on formula conditional formatting. You'll work through nine different practice exercises that explore row conditional formatting and then learn how the formula works after each exercise. You'll see how to use conditional formatting to hide errors, to highlight records based on multiple criteria, to track and alert you about due dates, to find the differences between two lists, to shade every other row, and more. You'll especially enjoy learning how to set up a scorecard, which will show you problem areas in red, possible problems in yellow, and everything running smoothly in green. Consolidating and OutliningIn this lesson, you'll learn how to use Excel's consolidation function to efficiently summarize data from multiple sources. A lot of people do this the hard way, but with Excel's automatic consolidation feature, you'll no longer need to develop a web of formula links to multiple sources. Goodbye, potential for human error! You'll begin with an exercise on consolidating data within the same workbook, and after that, you'll practice consolidating using an advanced technique with category labels and wildcards. Next, there will be a practice exercise on consolidating from multiple workbooks. You'll also learn how to use automatic and manual outlining to view or hide different levels or sections of your information. Excel Functions and NestingExcel's functions are too numerous to completely cover in one lesson, so this lesson will just focus on a few important ones spanning four categories: Logical, Database, Math & Trig, and Lookup & Reference. You'll start the lesson with an overview of functions, take a look at the Insert Function dialog box, and then practice working with the IF function, nesting functions, the DSUM function, and the VLOOKUP function—all of which will come in handy when you need to perform a quick, thorough analysis of your data. Import External DataIn this lesson, you'll find out all about importing external data. You'll begin with a practice exercise to get you comfortable with importing data from another Excel file, during which you'll see how to use the built-in Query Editor, which used to be an optional add-in known as Power Query. You'll test two methods for refreshing the target area for the imported data and find out how to edit any type of query. After that, you'll do an import from an external database that combines two database tables into a single import. Finally, you'll learn how to perform a web query, which—you guessed it—allows you to import data from the Internet. The web query feature is another fantastic feature in Excel. Data TablesIt's time to look at data tables, which let you compare the outcomes of different versions of the same formula without slogging through the process of calculating each of them. Data tables are very powerful what-if analysis tools that are great for analyzing potential outcomes of personal or business financial decisions. In this lesson, you'll learn how to use two types of data tables: a one-variable data table (which lets you substitute just one variable into the formula calculation) and the two-variable data table (which allows you to change multiple aspects of the formula). What-If Analysis ToolsIn this lesson, you'll explore three more of Excel's what-if analysis tools: Goal Seek, Scenario Manager, and Solver. You'll find out how to use Goal Seek to solve formulas backward—for example, you might want to do this if you knew the result you wanted but needed to determine how to change a single input cell in order to get that desired result. After that, you'll practice using Scenario Manager to create and save different input values and their results as scenarios (great for working on budgets). Finally, you'll put Excel's Solver to work to discover the optimal solution to models that have multiple variables and constraints. Advanced PivotTablesIn this lesson, you'll discover how to use PivotTables, which are excellent for summarizing massive amounts of data and viewing different cuts of the information quickly. There are two methods for creating PivotTables, and you'll practice using both. You'll also learn how to edit a PivotTable, how to filter the table to create individual reports, how to format a PivotTable to make it reader-friendly, how to insert a Timeline, and how to create and use calculated fields and items. After this, you'll create a PivotChart based on the data fields in your PivotTable. You may not be quite done with the course, but after mastering PivotTables and PivotCharts, you'll certainly be able to count yourself an advanced Excel user. Analysis ToolPak, Advanced Filter, Array Formulas, and More!The final lesson begins with a look at the functions available in the Analysis ToolPak, including two popular choices: the Moving Average and Sampling tools. You'll complete an exercise using advanced filters, and then look at some Excel tips and tricks. You'll find out how to work with the View Side by Side tool and how to use the Watch Window to keep tabs on your data when you're updating a workbook. The lesson wraps things up with practice exercises using array formulas and the AutoSum Tool. When you're done with this lesson—and the course—you'll want to pass along the techniques you've learned to friends and colleagues who are still wrestling with Excel! What you will learn
- Behind-the-scenes controls to make you more efficient.
- How to use data validation and formula conditional formatting.
- How to use functions, created nested functions, import data from multiple sources, and create different types of data tables.
- All about Goal Seek, Scenario Manager, Solver, PivotTables, PivotCharts, and the Analysis ToolPak add-in.
How you will benefit
- Become more valuable to your organization and stay ahead of your competition by learning advanced Excel techniques.
- Become more efficient in your ability to display, analyze, and report on important company data.
- Build a foundation for learning even more about Excel, or move on to other Microsoft Office programs, such as our Microsoft Word 2016 Series.

You'll develop not only strong Access skills, but a solid understanding of good database design concepts. By the time you've finished the course, you'll know how to organize and assemble an effective database for any kind of information you need to store, document, and manage. Requirements:
Hardware Requirements:
- This course must be taken on a PC. Macs are not compatible.
Software Requirements:
- PC: Windows 8 or later.
- Mac: macOS 10.6 or later.
- Browser: The latest version of Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox are preferred. Microsoft Edge is also compatible.

Instructional Material Requirements:
The instructional materials required for this course are included in enrollment and will be available online. Build, edit, and maintain databases in Microsoft Access 2016 using tables, reports, forms, and queries to give you fast access to all your important information. This hands-on course provides you with the skills to create an effective database for any type of information at home or on the job. Getting to Know Access 2016In this lesson, you'll find out what Access is and how individuals, businesses, and organizations use it to store information. You'll begin to build an Access database, including all the components that turn a list of records into reports, forms, and queries. You'll start by opening the application and creating a new database. Controlling Your Access Table FieldsIt's time to lay down the law! In this lesson, you'll impose rules that automatically fill an Access table field with a preset value or that automatically insert the symbols commonly included in phone numbers. You'll also set up rules that only allow certain kinds of data in certain fields. With just a few minutes of work, you can make data entry simpler, clearer, and practically error-free. Creating Tables and RelationshipsIn this lesson, you'll create additional tables for the class database, customize them along the way, and then build relationships between them. This all paves the way for later database features, such as reports, queries, and forms that draw from multiple tables in the database. Building Powerful FormsIn this lesson, you'll use forms for data entry and for viewing records in your tables. You'll meet the Form Wizard, which makes form building fast and easy and allows you to select one or more tables' fields to include. You'll also determine the form layout. Adding Versatility to FormsIn this lesson, you'll add buttons and controls to forms. You'll also adjust table relationships to support the creation of multi-table forms, which paves the way to creating queries and reports that draw data from more than one table. Interviewing Your DatabaseUsing queries to sort, filter, and search your database is one of the most important skills you'll master in this course. In this lesson, you'll create queries that search for specific data. You'll also customize how Access displays that data. You'll follow instructions step by step so you gain confidence with the process, and then you'll get to create a query on your own! Taking Queries to the Next LevelA query that puts specific records in order or finds all the records that have a general piece of information in common is, well, pretty common. Being able to create that kind of query is a great foundation skill, but it won't help you find a very specific record. Nor will it let you search for records within a span of dates or other numeric values. It also won't help you exclude certain records, reducing a large pool of data to just those records you need to see. In this lesson, you'll create queries that give you true power to search your database. Multi-Table Query ControlIn this lesson, you will learn to plan, build, and use queries that pull data from multiple tables simultaneously. This gives you more power over your data and allows you to build the foundation for truly customized reports. Reporting on Your TablesReports are easy to create and customize. In this lesson, you will build a simple report using the Report Wizard. Then you will change the report's appearance, using layout view and design view. These skills are foundational to creating and designing reports for any data in your database. Creating Query-Based ReportsIn this lesson, you will create reports that are based on the results of queries you create to sort and filter your database. Because queries can combine data from multiple tables, filter for specific data, and sort the results, your report reflects just the data that meet the query's criteria. Mastering Report DesignIn this lesson, you'll plan and create a completely customized report, using a specialized query that controls which data the report includes. You'll add fields that perform calculations on your data. You'll customize your report's layout, too, using design view's many tools for controlling the structure and appearance of your data. Automating Your Database With MacrosBuilding macros (short programs that perform a series of steps) helps you speed up and create consistency in your more repetitive Access tasks. From opening a form to running a report to building a new record in a table, macros eliminate redundant procedures by turning them into something you can do with one click. What you will learn
- Learn to build and customize tables to store data
- Learn how you can use relational databases to build forms, generate reports, and search for data with queries across thousands of records in hundreds of tables
- Discover how to use macros to automate repetitive tasks and increase your efficiency
- Develop not only strong Access skills, but a solid understanding of good database design concepts
How you will benefit
- Understand how to organize and assemble an effective database for any kind of information you need to store, document, and manage
- Gain confidence in your use of Microsoft Access
- Become more productive and efficient in organizing, managing, and reporting on data both personally and professionally

Instructional Material Requirements:
The instructional materials required for this course are included in enrollment and will be available online. Learn to create professional-looking letters, reports, and documents using Microsoft Word 2019. This hands-on course will help you master the basic features of this powerful word-processing program to type, edit, and format text, and spell check and print documents like a pro. Getting StartedIn this introductory lesson, you'll learn how to use the different parts of Word 2019's user interface, how to look at your document in different types of views, how to zoom in and out to magnify or shrink your text, and how to change the margins of individual paragraphs. Typing and NavigationThe whole purpose of Word is to let you create and edit text, so in this lesson, you'll go over the basics of moving the Insertion Pointer, or Cursor, and deleting text. Pressing the BACKSPACE and DELETE keys can delete text one character at a time. The keyboard lets you move the cursor one character, one word, or one line at a time. The mouse lets you quickly move the cursor and scroll through large documents far faster than the keyboard. By knowing the pros and cons of navigating through a document with the keyboard and mouse, you can use both to help you work faster in Word. File ManagementIn this lesson, you're going to learn how to save the documents you create in Word. You'll learn how to save documents with unique names, as well as in other formats so that you can share your documents with people using different word processors or even different computers. Finally, you'll learn how to rename, copy, and even delete any files you've created so that you'll always be in complete control of all the files you create. Editing TextAfter you've typed some text in a Word document, you may need to edit that text. The easiest way to edit is to delete individual characters using the BACKSPACE or DELETE keys. Another option is using Word's Overtype mode by typing over text you no longer need. If you ever delete anything by mistake, don't panic! Word's handy Undo and Redo commands retrieve unintentionally deleted text. You may also want to delete large chunks of text. Use your keyboard or mouse in tandem with the BACKSPACE or DELETE keys to efficiently remove entire sections of text. By learning how to delete text and undo mistakes, you can edit your documents quickly using Word. Working With Multiple DocumentsMost people use Word to view and edit a single document at a time, but Word actually lets you open and view two or more documents at the same time. This can be handy for copying text from one document to another, comparing two different drafts of the same document, or simply using one document as a reference while writing in the second one. By learning how to open, switch between, and view multiple documents, you can increase your productivity with Word. Text Formatting and AlignmentOnce you know how to add, delete, copy, and move text, the next step to modifying your document is to change the physical appearance of your text. You can make text appear in different colors or background highlighting, change the actual size of text, alter the alignment of text, and even choose different fonts to modify the way individual letters look. As you can see, Word provides plenty of ways to help you both edit text and change it so it looks visually appealing. PrintingMost people use Word to print letters and reports. But Word also helps you get creative by letting you choose different paper sizes and orientations. For example, you can print a letter in portrait orientation or print a sign in landscape orientation. Just think of turning a page up so its height is taller than its width (portrait orientation) or turning the page on its side so its width is wider than its height (landscape orientation). Word also lets you choose to print on different paper sizes, such as envelopes, just as long as you can run those odd-shaped paper sheets in your printer. With Word's ability to print on different types of paper sizes and orientation, you can create more than just typical documents using Word. Margins, Tabs, and Page NumberingMost of the time when you create a document, you can use the default page settings. But sometimes you may want to modify those settings to change margins around a page to give you more (or less) space on the top, bottom, left, or right sides of a page. By knowing how to set and use margins, you can modify an entire document or just a single page. By using tabs, you can modify how individual paragraphs look on a page. Finally, you'll also learn how to add page numbers to the top or bottom of a page to keep track of the right page order when you print out your document. Paragraph FormattingWord can be handy for typing and formatting text, but once you've written several paragraphs worth of text, you may need to format individual paragraphs separately from the rest of your document. Word provides ways to change the appearance of a paragraph's first line, line spacing within a paragraph, and line spacing between paragraphs. In addition, Word lets you create bullet and numbered lists, so you can display short bits of information in a visual manner. With Word's various paragraph-formatting options, you can customize the appearance of all your paragraphs. Language ToolsIt's not enough just to write and format your text. After you're done writing, you may need to check your spelling, change your words, and even hyphenate your text to make your entire document look the best it can. For important documents, you may even need to collaborate with others. To keep track of all the changes multiple authors may make to a single document, Word offers a Track Changes feature, so you can see exactly what and who changed the document. With so many ways to polish your document, there's no reason not to write exactly what you want to say with Word. Customizing WordWord can easily handle any characters you type with a keyboard, but sometimes you may need to type an occasional foreign language character, a mathematical symbol, or another unusual character that doesn't appear on your keyboard. With Word, you can press different types of keystrokes or search and click the symbol you want to use. This lets you add practically any type of unusual character to your documents, even smiley faces. You probably won't need to type all of these characters regularly, so just find the ones you'll likely need and remember how to use them. Word lets you type practically anything you want, regardless of the limitation of the keys on your keyboard. Making a Word Document Pretty and OrganizedWriting involves more than just typing and editing text. With Word's advanced features, you can insert page breaks and cover pages to adjust how your text appears when you print it out. To make text on each page look its best, you can use drop caps and styles. Finally, you can use outlines to organize your text and quickly move chunks of text within a document just by rearranging an outline heading. By learning these advanced features of Word, you can make each document display text in the most appealing way possible. What you will learn
- Fundamentals of one of the most crucial software applications in the modern workplace
- Skills and tools needed to adjust margins, spacing, layout, and design of any Word document
- How to work on multiple projects at once and become faster and more efficient in a variety of Microsoft Word tasks

Instructional Material Requirements:
The instructional materials required for this course are included in enrollment and will be available online. Learn to effectively plan, implement, and control projects using Microsoft Project 2019/Office 365. This course will help you master the basics to create and share a project schedule, track costs and resources, produce reports, and resolve problems to keep your projects on track. Overview of Microsoft ProjectMicrosoft Project can help you manage your project's schedule, costs, and scope in a way that you've never dreamed of. Too often, Project users never use this powerful tool to its fullest potential. In this lesson, you'll discover how to improve your project by adopting a formal management approach. You'll get a quick overview of Project Management, and then you'll learn the basics of Microsoft Project, including a summary of the Gantt Chart view and ways to create and enter project tasks. Creating a Solid FoundationIf you're looking for ways to keep organized, you'll see just how to do that in this lesson! You'll go through the steps to create a project schedule in no time flat. Once you create and enter tasks in Project's Gantt Chart view, you'll set a schedule by using a calendar and assigning lead times. Then, you'll need to create task dependencies, sometimes known as links. You'll see how to perform these activities and, in the process, you'll become comfortable using Project's many dialog boxes. Before you know it, you'll be creating schedules for all your projects with little effort. Creating and Managing ResourcesYou won't get too far with your project without adding resources. While tasks create the backbone of your project, you'll also need people, equipment, and materials to bring your project to life. In this lesson, you'll find out how to apply two types of Project resources—work resources, and material resources. You'll look at two more dialog boxes—Resource Information and Assign Resources—and you'll learn how to analyze resources by using the Resource Sheet and Resource Usage views. Defining and Assigning CostsNo matter what project you work on, the bottom line is always important. So, get ready to add the final piece to your basic project schedule—costs. You'll start things off by looking through a brief overview of cost accounting, exploring fixed, variable, relevant, and accrued costs. After this review, you'll learn how to assign costs by using the Resource Sheet. You'll even discover how to assign different costs for the same resource and analyze the overall costs for your project by using the Cost Table. Project Templates, Security, and ConstraintsSuccessful project managers are known for their efficiency and for safeguarding private information. Microsoft Project provides two excellent methods to help you in these areas: project templates and project security. You'll find out how to use some of the many templates Project has to offer, including the Residential Construction template and the New Product template. You'll also learn how to protect your project information with backups, passwords, and write protection. Then you'll discover how to put Project's task constraints to good use. Working With Views and Managing InformationIn this lesson, you'll discover how easy it is to modify your basic schedules and work with project data. You'll look at the various Project views, such as the Calendar, Leveling Gantt, and the Network Diagram. If you don't like the default colors or fonts in your schedule or table, you'll be well-prepared to make changes. You'll even learn how and why you might want to create a combination view; add notes to your project; or sort, filter, and group data. Fine-Tuning Your Project PlanMany projects experience schedule compression when management or clients ask that the project be completed sooner and for less. In this lesson, you'll discover how to improve your schedule's performance. You'll explore the Project Statistics dialog box, and you'll learn how to determine the ideal starting point in terms of planned costs and completion dates. You'll see how to change task dependencies to speed up your project and also find out how to split tasks to add more lead time. You'll also learn how to create recurring tasks and attach notes to your project's taskbars. Baselines and TrackingBefore you implement your project, you need to create a baseline. This will help you track actual results against what you originally set out to accomplish. Microsoft Project makes it possible to set up a baseline with a few mouse clicks. You'll learn how to create a baseline and then see a variety of ways, including using the Tracking toolbar, to record your actual project results. Managing VariancesHere's where things really start to come together! You'll learn how to compare actual results to your baseline by using the Gantt Chart and reviewing a table. You'll discover how useful status identifiers and progress lines can be to quickly gain information about your project's position. You'll also begin using the Tracking Gantt and filters to automatically identify slipping tasks. You'll also take a stroll through the basics of variance analysis by discussing the Start and Finish Date, Resources, and Work Variance Tables. Closing Your ProjectNo project is complete until it's officially closed. In this final lesson, you'll find out how to close your project and use the Organizer to help you customize and copy views for future projects. Printing ViewsNow that you're using reports to share project information, you'll occasionally need to print various views and tables. In this lesson, you'll delve into printing Microsoft Project documents. You'll be a master at creating different views of your project with the Page Setup dialog box, and you'll clearly understand the mechanics of the Print dialog box and the Print Preview. Using and Creating ReportsOnce your project gets rolling, outsiders will probably want to know how things are going. It can be a real time drain answering each request individually. When others request information from you, Microsoft Project offers the perfect solution: Reports. You'll go over a representative sample of the standard reports as well as discuss how to modify and create new reports in this lesson. By the time you finish, you'll be well acquainted with Project's reporting capabilities and also know how to create Visual Reports as Project automatically exports data to Microsoft Excel and Visio. What you will learn
- Effective planning, implementation, and control projects using Microsoft Project
- How to enhance your project in the areas of efficiency and security
- The importance of setting a project baseline and tracking actual results
- Generate several standard project reports and a wide variety of visual project reports
How you will benefit
- Know how to the use of the world's most popular project management software
- Gain transferable skills
- Replace informal project plans with plans based on logic and structures reflective

Instructional Material Requirements:
The instructional materials required for this course are included in enrollment and will be available online. Develop a fully functional database that tracks customer and order information in this hands-on Microsoft Access 2016 course. Learn advanced techniques for presenting data, automating common tasks, and building navigation while you create a database project from scratch. Reviewing Terms and Importing DataIn this lesson, you'll review Access key concepts and terminology. You'll also learn how to share data between Access and other applications. The objects you import in this lesson will be the basis of a project that you'll work on for the rest of the course. Key Fields and Action QueriesIn this lesson, you'll learn how to set up key fields in tables and use action queries to quickly and easily manipulate multiple-table records with one command. Relationships of the Database KindWhat are table relationships, and what does referential integrity mean? It's time to find out how and why to use these features. Creating and Modifying FormsForms are the user-friendly gateway to Access table data. In this lesson, you'll learn how to create and modify forms and make them easy to use. Subforms and the Tab ControlIn this lesson, you'll learn how to add a subform to a main form without the wizard, and you'll use the Tab control to arrange form data. QueriesYou've already learned to put data into your database in an efficient way. In this lesson, you'll learn about query joins and data functions. These tools will help you get timely, high-quality data out of your database, so you see all the data you want and none of the data you don't want. Query CalculationsSuppose your boss tells you, "I want a list of the customers who placed the most orders and a separate list of the customers who spent the most overall." How can you find these answers quickly and accurately? Access comes to your rescue again! In this lesson, you'll explore Access functions, crunch numbers with the best of them, and even design a mathematical formula of your own. Don't worry if math makes you nervous, because this lesson will walk you through every step! Summary QueriesIn this lesson, you'll build powerful, fast summary queries that total, count, or average the values in a set of records. You'll also discover the power of the crosstab query, which can not only summarize data but also rearrange it so that it becomes easier to understand. Finally, you'll add query parameters that allow you to change a query's criteria without altering its design. Building Reports That Pinpoint Key InformationIn this lesson, you'll use the Report Wizard to build a basic report. You'll then fine-tune what you've built and learn some tips and tricks that were developed while building thousands of Access reports. Finally, you'll learn about a fantastic tool—conditional formatting, which allows you to visually identify key report data. With a few clicks, your report will change from a mass of numbers to a map of trends and changes that affect your business. Run Reports From a Custom Dialog BoxJust about every time you run a report, you'll want to limit the data it displays. You might want to see only a certain customer or a particular month and year. In this lesson, you'll build a dialog box that allows the user to run reports based on custom-built criteria. Using Visual Basic to Automate the Reports Dialog BoxVisual Basic is a powerful programming language that allows database developers to automate simple and complex tasks. In this lesson, you'll learn a little bit about Visual Basic, using it to make the reports dialog box you built earlier fully functional. Putting It All TogetherIf you're creating a database for others, you must make it easy to use—and as you may remember, Access can look intimidating to a newbie! In this lesson, you'll build a navigation form that directs users to the forms and reports they need. You'll also set up a database for shared use and modify the startup options. What you will learn
- Use action queries to manage table data quickly and efficiently

Instructional Material Requirements:
The instructional materials required for this course are included in enrollment and will be available online. Master the advanced features of Microsoft Word 2016 and create truly professional looking documents. This hands-on course will help you learn how to create an index, build a list of figures, design a table of contents, do desktop publishing, perform a mail merge, and use timesaving shortcuts. Shortcuts and Time-Savers in Word 2016Humanity has come a long way since the days of the typewriter. What used to take hours can now be done in seconds with Microsoft Word 2016. And the less time you spend typing, the more time you can spend being creative and having fun. In this lesson, you'll learn shortcuts in Word that can help you create documents faster and more accurately than ever before. Not only will these shortcuts save you time, but they'll help you create letters and reports more easily than you might have thought possible. Text and Paragraph Formatting MethodsWhat you write is half of communication. The other half is getting people to read what you write. One way to make your writing more appealing is to make it look presentable with formatting. Of course, formatting text is easy, but applying different types of formatting over and over again can get tedious. That's why, in this lesson, you'll learn a fast and easy way to format chunks of text quickly and consistently using something called styles. You'll find out what a style is, how to apply it, and more important, how to create and save your own styles to use in any document. By the end of this lesson, you'll be able to make any document look presentable with just the click of your mouse. TemplatesIf you've ever baked cookies, or even just watched someone else do it, you know how difficult it can be to make all the cookies in a batch look exactly alike. Some turn out big, some small, some gooey, and some burned! However, if you use a cookie cutter, you can make identically shaped cookies every time. That's the same principle you'll learn in this lesson; instead of using a cookie cutter, though, you'll use something called a template. A template stores the formatting of a document so that you can apply it to another document. Templates let you format entire documents as easily as formatting a single word. Word offers lots of convenient templates stored right on your computer or available over the Internet, and you'll also find out how you can create your own. Graphics: Part 1They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so what better way to spice up your documents than by adding pictures? In this lesson, you'll learn how to add your own digital photographs to a document so that you can show everyone your vacation pictures, family holidays, or just interesting sights you've captured with your own camera. In addition to adding your own photos, you can also add clip art from Word's massive library of free graphics. And you'll find out how to resize, rotate, and style your pictures, as well as wrap your document text around them. By the end of this lesson, you'll see why Word documents are about much more than words! Graphics: Part 2, and ColumnsDigital photographs and clip art are just the beginning of what you can do with graphics in Word. In this lesson, you'll discover how to add a variety of informational graphics, including charts, graphs, and WordArt, which allow you to display text as a graphic image. Not only will you learn how to add these graphics, but you'll also find out how to edit them when your data changes. You'll finish off the lesson by seeing how Word allows you to format documents with multiple columns—a handy skill for creating newsletters and publications! Sections and NotesDo you often create long documents? If so, you'll appreciate this lesson, which shows you how to divide a large document into parts called sections. Sections allow you to format part of a document a certain way without that formatting affecting the rest of your text. For example, you may want headers and footers to appear on some pages but not others. Sections make this easy! You'll also spend some time inserting footnotes and endnotes in a document. If you need to write research papers or other academic content, Word makes it a snap to add and format these previously pesky notes! TablesIf you've ever seen a spreadsheet, you know how rows and columns let you organize numbers and text on the screen. Well, tables do the same thing in Word. In this lesson, you'll see how to create tables of all different sizes right in a Word document! The lesson will cover how to modify tables, too. And don't think Excel users get to have all the fun—you can even enter formulas to perform calculations in your tables, sort them, and style them for a customized look. Your data has never looked so appealing! Envelopes and Odd-Size PagesYou probably print most of your documents on standard letter-size paper. While this is great for ordinary letters or business reports, sometimes you may want to get creative with your paper sizes. But then there's the trouble of printing. In this lesson, you'll see how you can define the dimensions of the paper you're using, so Word will print everything correctly. You'll also learn how to print names and addresses directly on envelopes of any size. After this lesson, you won't feel confined to boring 8 1/2 x 11-inch paper anymore! Desktop Publishing: Part 1As you've probably already figured out, Word can do more than write letters. It also functions as a simple desktop publishing program for creating greeting cards, calendars, or newsletters. In this lesson, you'll find out how text boxes are the key to simple desktop publishing and see how other elements come into play in customized documents. Along the way, you'll look at business cards and greeting cards to get a feel for how desktop publishing works. If you've always wanted to create a document that combines text and graphics in an artistic or visually appealing way, you'll find out how to do that and much more. Desktop Publishing: Part 2With the basics down, it's time to take your desktop publishing skills to the next level. In this lesson, you'll discover the magic of linked text boxes that give you the power to move your text anywhere you want on the page and keep it flowing. You'll see how to create, position, resize, and group text boxes so you have total control over your text. Merging Data with DocumentsHave you ever received one of those "personalized" letters from a company in the mail? You can be sure that nobody typed the entire sales letter from scratch. Instead, the company used a form letter and something called mail merging. In this lesson, you'll learn how to store long lists of names and addresses that you can use over and over again in a form letter. Just create a document once, leave blanks for inserting information such as names and addresses, and let Word personalize each letter for you. Now you, too, can create personalized letters for business or personal use, such as sending out holiday greetings to family members and friends. Final TouchesLook in most books, and you'll find the table of contents at the beginning and an index in the back. Often, these are the last components added to a document, since they need to have accurate titles and page numbers. But Word takes a lot of the tedious work out of creating these components. In this final lesson, you'll see how you can use Styles to make creating the table of contents a snap, and then explore how to tag index terms so Word knows what page they're on, even if they move later. Word can also help you keep track of any figures, such as charts, illustrations, or graphs, in your document. By letting Word worry about the details, you can create an accurate table of contents, index, or list of figures with very little extra effort on your part. These finishing touches will make your most important documents shine! What you will learn
- Learn how shortcut keys, macros, and the AutoCorrect feature can save you time

The instructional materials required for this course are included in enrollment and will be available online. Use Microsoft Word 2019 more efficiently by mastering its more advanced features. This hands-on course will teach you how to create an index, build a list of figures, design a table of contents, perform a mail merge, and use timesaving shortcuts to develop professional documents. Timesavers in Word 2019Things have come a long way since the days of the typewriter. What used to take hours can now be done in seconds with Microsoft Word 2019. And the less time you spend typing, the more time you can spend being creative and having fun. In this lesson, you'll learn shortcuts in Word that can help you create documents faster and more accurately than ever before. Not only will these shortcuts save you time, but they'll help you create letters and reports more easily than you might have thought possible. Methods to Streamline Text FormattingWhat you write is half of communication. The other half is getting people to read what you write. One way to make your writing more appealing is to make it look presentable with formatting. Of course, formatting text is easy, but applying different types of formatting over and over again can get tedious. In this lesson, you'll learn a fast and easy way to format chunks of text quickly and consistently using something called styles. You'll find out what a style is, how to apply it, and—more important—how to create and save your own styles to use in any document. By the end of this lesson, you'll be able to make any document look presentable with just the click of your mouse. Working with TemplatesA template stores the formatting of a document so that you can apply it to another document. Templates let you format entire documents as easily as formatting a single word. Word offers lots of convenient templates stored right on your computer or available over the Internet. In this lesson, you'll learn about how to search and use Word templates, and you'll also discover how you can create your own. Adding Graphics to Your Word DocumentsThey say a picture is worth a thousand words, so what better way to spice up your documents than by adding pictures? In this lesson, you'll learn how to add your own digital photographs to a document so that you can show everyone your vacation pictures, family holidays, or just interesting sights you've captured with your own camera. In addition to adding your own photos, you can also add clip art from Word's massive library of free graphics. And you'll find out how to resize, rotate, and style your pictures, as well as wrap your document text around them. By the end of this lesson, you'll see why Word documents are about much more than words! Creating Text-Based Graphics in WordDigital photographs and clip art are just the beginning of what you can do with graphics in Word. In this lesson, you'll discover how to add a variety of informational graphics, including charts, graphs, and WordArt, which allows you to display text as a graphic image. Not only will you learn how to add these graphics, but you'll also find out how to edit them when your data changes. You'll finish off the lesson by seeing how Word allows you to format documents with multiple columns—a handy skill for creating newsletters and publications! Organizing Your Text with Columns and SectionsDo you often create long documents? If so, you'll appreciate this lesson, which shows you how to divide a large document into parts called sections. Sections allow you to format part of a document a certain way without that formatting affecting the rest of your text. For example, you may want headers and footers to appear on some pages but not others. Sections make this easy! You'll also spend some time inserting footnotes and end-notes in a document. If you need to write research papers or other academic content, Word makes it a snap to add and format these previously pesky notes! Creating Tables in WordIf you've ever seen a spreadsheet, you know how rows and columns let you organize numbers and text on the screen. Well, tables do the same thing in Word. In this lesson, you'll see how to create tables of all different sizes right in a Word document! You'll cover how to modify tables, too. And don't think Excel users get to have all the fun—you can even enter formulas to perform calculations in your tables, sort them, and style them for a customized look. Your data has never looked so appealing! Creating Stationary in WordYou probably print most of your documents on standard letter-size paper. While this is great for ordinary letters or business reports, sometimes you may want to get creative with your paper sizes. But then there's the trouble of printing. In this lesson, you'll see how you can define the dimensions of the paper you're using, so Word will print everything correctly. You'll also learn how to print names and addresses directly on envelopes of any size. After this lesson, you won't feel confined to boring 8 1/2 x 11-inch paper anymore! Creating Business Stationary in WordAs you've probably already figured out, Word can do more than write letters. It can also function as a simple desktop publishing program for creating greeting cards, calendars, or newsletters. In this lesson, you'll find out how text boxes are the key to simple desktop publishing, and you'll see how other elements come into play in customized documents. Along the way, you'll look at business cards and greeting cards to get a feel for how desktop publishing works. If you've always wanted to create a document that combines text and graphics in an artistic or visually appealing way, you'll find out how to do that and much more. Desktop PublishingWith the basics down, it's time to take your desktop publishing skills to the next level. In this lesson, you'll discover the magic of linked text boxes that give you the power to move your text anywhere you want on the page and keep it flowing. You'll see how to create, position, resize, and group text boxes so that you have total control over your text. Merging Data with DocumentsHave you ever received one of those "personalized" letters from a company in the mail? You can be sure that nobody typed the entire sales letter from scratch. Instead, the company used a form letter and something called mail merging. In this lesson, you'll learn how to store long lists of names and addresses that you can reuse in a form letter. Just create a document once, leave blanks for inserting information such as names and addresses, and let Word personalize each letter for you. Now, you too can create personalized letters for business or personal use, such as sending out holiday greetings to family members and friends. Creating Summative Lists of What's in Your DocumentLook in most books, and you'll find a table of contents at the beginning and an index in the back. Often, these are the last components added to a document, since they need to have accurate titles and page numbers. Thankfully, Word takes a lot of the tedious work out of creating these components. In this final lesson, you'll see how you can use Styles to make creating a table of contents a snap, and you'll explore how to tag index terms so that Word knows what page they're on, even if they move later. Word can also help you keep track of any figures, such as charts, illustrations, or graphs, in your document. By letting Word worry about the details, you can create an accurate table of contents, index, or list of figures with very little extra effort on your part. These finishing touches will make your most important documents shine! What you will learn
- Functions and features of Microsoft Word 2019
- Shortcuts and time-saving techniques including macros, keystroke shortcuts, and templates
- Finding, inserting, and modifying graphic images
- Creating and merging data and text for labels, letters, and other professional documents
How you will benefit
- Utilizing Microsoft Word 2019 as a basic desktop publishing tool adds value to your professional profile.
- By learning more advanced features of this popular software, you can contribute to your organization more effectively.

Instructional Material Requirements:
The instructional materials required for this course are included in enrollment and will be available online. Master new skills and harness the power of Excel to become a power user. This hands-on course provides in-depth knowledge of charts, graphs, PivotTables, Slicers, Sparklines, AutoFilter, macros, and other advanced Microsoft Excel 2019 functions. Excel Charts and GraphsIn this first lesson, you'll discover why Excel is such a powerful and user-friendly charting tool. To you, a workbook's numbers might tell an interesting story. But to others, that story might not be quite so obvious—they might just see plain old numbers. So, in this lesson, you'll find out how to choose the right chart for telling your story and then how to create, format, and edit your chart to help others clearly visualize that story. More Excel ChartsWith so many great charting features and enhancements in Excel 2019, there's no way you could study them all in a single lesson. So, in this lesson, you'll continue exploring Excel's charting options—this time looking at the lesser-known options that are available to you. Even though they aren't well-known, these options can add tremendous value to your worksheets in the right situations. The lesson will walk you through a few of them step-by-step so that you can see the value for yourself. AutoFilter and SortingWorking with data in Excel can be quite easy—and sometimes even fun—when you know about the extra tools that are available once you have your data arranged in a table format. One of these great tools is the Auto Filter command. In this lesson, you'll learn how to use Auto Filter to limit your table information to just the records you want. Not only does Auto Filter allow for finding exact matches, but it can also filter and sort based on cell shading or font color. How great is that? Goal SeekingNormally, you'll use your Excel workbooks as a place to enter formulas and get answers. But what if the formula isn't returning the answer you want? If you know what you want, but you just don't know what formula will get you there, then Excel's Goal Seek is exactly what you need. This tool will help you avoid the trial-and-error approach that most Excel users go through to get to the right answer. You'll go through multiple examples, exploring several ways to apply this great feature. Pivot TablesYou'll learn how to use one of the best features of Excel: the PivotTable. If you've heard about PivotTables before, then you'll know what to expect. There's no greater what-if analysis tool to summarize, reorganize, and report data. When you practice creating a PivotTable, you'll discover how "pivoting" your data helps you gain valuable insights by seeing the same information from a different perspective. This is a lesson you won't want to miss! Advanced PivotTablesJust like charting, Excel's PivotTables are too big a topic to fit into one lesson. So, in this lesson, you'll take PivotTables to the next level by taking a tour through some of Excel's more advanced techniques. You'll learn how quick and easy it is to group your data to give your PivotTable even more power. Then, you'll find out how a PivotTable can serve as your source and inspiration for some really nice charts, specifically, the PivotChart. Last, you'll become an expert in using the Excel PivotTable filtering tool called Slicer. SolverHave you ever worked with a financial model in Excel and wondered how you could speculate different outcomes by changing different input amounts? The Excel Solver can do just that. In this lesson, you'll learn how to use Solver to solve a complex problem based on the criteria and constraints you provide it. If you liked the Goal Seek lesson, then this Solver lesson is going to knock your socks off. SparklinesThere's nothing more exciting than learning how to master a useful and eye-catching feature in Excel. In this lesson, you'll explore in detail how to create all three types of Sparklines, as well as formatting options for each. By the end of the lesson, you'll have the skills to create dashboard-like mini charts sure to make you the envy of your office. If you enjoy creating charts, you'll really enjoy this lesson. MacrosThis topic is a student favorite. In this lesson, you'll find out how to use macros to turn boring, repetitive, time-consuming tasks into automated Excel functions. Tired of doing the same formatting on the same report month after month? Here's your chance to see how to record a macro that performs that time-consuming task in seconds with just one swift click of a button! How will you spend all the extra time that this lesson will save you? Introduction to FunctionsIf you've used Excel for a while, you know there are hundreds of functions at your disposal. You'll spend the last three lessons of this course going over exactly how and why you'd use them. The lesson will begin by going through a quick overview of all the categories of functions and the different methods you can use to create them. Then, later in the lesson, you'll ease into creating various functions using some from the Text category. Math/Trig FunctionsIn addition to learning how to create macros, most students want to learn as much as they can about Excel functions. In this lesson, you'll dig a little deeper into using some of the slightly more complex functions in the Math & Trig category. Specifically, you'll look at two popular choices, the SUMIF and COUNTIF functions, and discuss how to use one of the more complex functions, SUMIFS. If one of your objectives in taking this course is to learn more about functions, you're in for a treat! VLOOKUP, INDEX, and MATCH FunctionsSince functions are such an important and integral part of using Excel, you'll spend the final lesson going over a few more of them. You'll learn how to use the extremely popular VLOOKUP function. If you're already accustomed to using VLOOKUP, don't feel short-changed, because this lesson will add to the complexity. You'll also use the INDEX and MATCH functions to do something just short of amazing. This is another lesson you won't want to miss! What you will learn

Instructional Material Requirements:
The instructional materials required for this course are included in enrollment and will be available online. Maximize your investment in Microsoft Excel by mastering its pivot table features. In this practical hands-on course, you will discover how to use different layout, subtotaling, and filtering options and discover a variety of advanced techniques for pivot tables, including Pivot Charts, Timelines, and Slicers. You will also master data analysis by learning how to quickly and easily summarize your data. Pivot Table ConceptsIn your first lesson, you will develop a solid understanding of the requirements to use pivot tables. This lesson introduces the foundational elements needed to understand and get the most out of pivot tables. Creating a Pivot TableNot all data is created equal. In this lesson, you will learn what's required to make sure your data is organized well enough to be used in a pivot table. You will discover a very common issue that occurs when the source data changes and you how to easily eliminate that issue. Pivot Table Analyze and Design TabsWorking efficiently with pivot tables requires knowing where to find the proper pivot table feature without searching high and low for it. Most pivot table features reside on one of the two pivot table Ribbon tabs. This lesson introduces the different features that are grouped and what each one provides. Pivot Table Formatting Inside and OutLearn to group ordinary pivot table fields, which will create new fields that you can use within the pivot table or as a Slicer. In addition, you'll learn how to expand and collapse fields to help in summarizing the pivot table data. Then learn how to locate data anomalies in large data sets and the proper use of report filters which can assist in any data investigation as well as a great tool for creating multiple reports from a single pivot table report. Pivot Table Options and Field SettingsMost users may not know that there are certain options and settings that provide little-known but extremely useful features. Most of these features are accessed through the pivot table Ribbon tabs, but some are not. In this lesson, you will learn how to use some of the more obscure settings in the Pivot Table Options and Field Settings dialog boxes. Value Field SettingsSimilar to the Field Settings, the Values section of a pivot table report has unique settings and summarization options. For most people, simply summing or counting the data within the Values section is enough. But once you learn how to use these lesser-known settings, you will go from an average pivot table user to an expert. Grouping Pivot Table FieldsA pivot table is ideal for analyzing and summarizing data. By default, the table does an excellent job at summarizing the data within the various fields, but there is a way to summarize the data even further. This lesson will show you how to group ordinary pivot table fields, which will create new fields that you can use within the pivot table or as a Slicer. In addition, you will learn how to expand and collapse fields to help in summarizing the pivot table data. Data-Integrity Checks and Report FiltersA pivot table is a great way to locate data anomalies in large data sets that would otherwise be hard to find scanning through the source table. In addition, the proper use of report filters can assist in any data investigation, as well as providing a great tool to create multiple reports from a single pivot table report. You will learn all about these tools in this lesson. Cloning a Pivot Table and the Wonderful World of SlicersPivot tables are extremely useful and flexible for data analysis and reporting. It's easy to add, remove, or simply move fields to create different-looking reports from the same source data. This lesson focuses on creating different versions of reports and the different techniques needed to do so. Calculated Fields and ItemsPivot tables are great for analyzing and reporting information, but they're limited in their functionality when your source data is missing needed information. Or, perhaps the information isn't needed in the source data and is only needed for analysis for a short time. This lesson will demonstrate how to use Excel's Calculated Items and Fields feature to create items that are missing from the source data. Working With Slicers and Pivot ChartsYour pivot table isn't complete without a Slicer and pivot chart. In order to create an effective dashboard, you'll need a pivot table and a pivot chart controlled by multiple Slicers. This lesson focuses on creating and managing Slicers and Pivot Charts. Timelines and Dashboard DevelopmentIn the final lesson, you will learn about the many interactive tools and techniques available to make pivot tables and pivot charts fun to use. Similar to a Slicer, Excel offers a tool called Timelines. Timelines are available when a field available in your pivot table or chart is a date. Within a dashboard, using the Timeline feature can be useful and eye catching to the users. What you will learn
