Why study this course

Build on your base knowledge of R. There are often many ways to achieve a result using R, learn how to run analysis more efficiently:

  • create your own functions

  • control structures

  • loops and loop alternatives

  • tidyverse piping syntax

  • create visualisations with ggplot2

You will work alongside the Data Analytics lead as you complete exercises throughout the day to cement your understanding of these concepts. The skills you learn on the day will empower you to build your own solutions in R.
