I am creating a database to schedule training for a team of around 60 people.
There are also about 60 training courses, some of which are prerequisite to
others. I want to set up something which gives an error message if you
attempt to schedule training for an individual but they have not completed
all the prerequisites for this training. Haven't got the slightest on how to
start this!! Help please!! Any suggestiong aprreciated.

You need three tables.
One for the people
PeopleID Name Phone
One for the courses
CourseID CourseName Prerequisites
One for the courses people took.
Course-PeopleID CourseID PeopleID DateTaken
DateCompleted
Add a record to the Course-People table every time someone takes a course.
Before that record is added to the Course-People table, make sure there is
another record in the Course-People table showing that person completing the
required Course(s). You would know what's required, because it would be
listed in the Courses table for that CourseID.
