Memberships Explained: TechHelp, Learning Connection, MYOLP

Welcome to Access Learning Zone, where we offer a variety of membership options designed to meet the needs of both beginners and advanced users alike. Whether you're already a member of our website or YouTube channel, or just considering joining, this guide will help you understand the different types of memberships we offer and the benefits each one provides.

Membership Options

At Access Learning Zone, you don't need to become a member to purchase individual lessons, templates, or seminars. However, membership offers significant perks, including discounts of up to 50%, access to extended cut videos, exclusive content from our code vault, and much more.

We offer three main types of memberships:

1. TechHelp Memberships: Available in Silver, Gold, and Platinum levels, these memberships cater to various learning needs and offer access to our extensive library of TechHelp videos. These memberships are available on both our website and YouTube.

2. Learning Connection Membership: Ideal for beginners, this membership provides a structured learning path that starts with Level One, available for free. Subsequent lessons are delivered weekly at a 50% discount. As a Learning Connection member, you'll progress through beginner and expert levels in a recommended order, ensuring a solid foundation in the topics you wish to master. The flexibility to adjust the delivery interval, whether it's every few days or every few weeks, makes it a perfect fit for those who prefer a paced learning experience.

3. MYOLP Membership: MYOLP stands for "My Online Learning Partner" and is our all-you-can-eat buffet membership. With this option, you gain unlimited access to all video lessons within your chosen level, Beginner, Expert, or Developer. This membership is particularly beneficial for those who have been working with Access for some time and want to pick and choose specific topics, like DLOOKUP or recordsets, without following a set order. Additionally, MYOLP members receive the best possible discount for an annual membership, making it the most cost-effective choice for comprehensive learning.

TechHelp Memberships

Our most popular memberships are the TechHelp Silver, Gold, and Platinum levels. Each tier offers increasing benefits:

• Silver Members receive access to extended cut versions of our TechHelp videos, which dive deeper into specific topics. Additionally, Silver members enjoy a 10% discount on any other products and one free Beginner class each month, in order.

• Gold Members enjoy all the perks of Silver membership, plus access to our exclusive Code Vault, where you'll find a treasure trove of VBA code snippets and examples used in our lessons. Gold members can also download the databases featured in our TechHelp videos and benefit from a 20% discount on other products. Furthermore, Gold members receive one free Expert-level class each month, in order, once they've finished the Beginner lessons, allowing them to continue their learning journey through more advanced material.

• Platinum Members receive all the benefits of Gold membership, with even more advantages. Platinum members get a 50% discount on additional products, one free Advanced or Developer class each month, in order, once they've finished the Expert lessons, and priority placement in our TechHelp question queue. While there is no guarantee that every question will result in a video, Platinum members' questions are given top consideration.

Thank You

Thank you for choosing Access Learning Zone. I'm Richard Rost, and I look forward to helping you on your journey to mastering Microsoft Access. Live long and prosper!

Regular Courses Not Included

Your Silver, Gold, or Platinum membership does not entitle you to all of my regular courses, seminars, or templates. You do get one free class each month, in order, depending on your membership level. See the Perks page and the Free Courses for Members page for details.

For Beginners...

If you are new to Access (or any other program) the TechHelp videos are not the best way to learn for beginners. TechHelp is basically a Q&A series. I answer whatever questions come in from my students in whatever random order I happen to choose. It's not a format that is condusive to learning if you're new to Access. If you are somewhat experienced with Access and want to learn new tips and tricks, then this is a great "almost-daily" video blog to teach you some new stuff. If you're a Beginner, you should stick to my Beginner lessons, then move up to the Expert lessons and perhaps then start watching the TechHelp videos. I recommend my Learning Connection membership for new users to Access.

Technical Support Not Provided

Signing up for a Membership of any kind gives you access to specific perks as listed. If you have questions about the material covered in a specific course, feel free to post them in the Student Forum for that course. If you have other non-related questions you would like to submit to be considered for a TechHelp video, you will be given priority consideration over non-members, however an answer is not in any way guaranteed. Even in the event your question is accepted, the waiting list is generally several weeks long. I will answer your question if I think it makes for a good video. Otherwise, I will do my best to point you to another video (free or paid) that may answer your question.

Membership does NOT include free technical support for your database problems. I do my best to answer questions for my students as I have time, however it is never guaranteed. I no longer provide technical support or one-on-one consulting. If you are looking for someone to help you with your database, whether it needs troubleshooting or you want someone to add something to it for you, check out my Access Developer Network. I've got a group of very knowledgeable Developers who are available to help you.

TechHelp is for generic questions that I can make videos to answer for lots of people to enjoy. "How do I...?" type questions. It's not to get support for your database issues. Sorry. There are only so many hours in the day, and I can't help everyone myself. While I love to get your questions, and I'll answer them if I have time, technical support is not guaranteed. You're better off posting in the Forums, and even then, a response is not guaranteed.
