While there are currently no dates for this course scheduled before autumn 2025, you may be interested in our R Crash Course.

This one-day course is the first in the "R" stream and is aimed at those who want to get to know R, the day covering the basics of R and how it operates. You will learn how to get your data into R, manipulate it to obtain basic summary statistics and tables and get to know how the R environment works. As well as getting to know R, we will show you how RStudio can be used as a front-end for managing your R programming. You will also see how the impressive graphics capabilities of R can be used to produce customised charts.

If you are interested in this course you may also be interested in our Data Analysis in R follow-on course. We also offer an R Crash Course which combines the two courses.
