Build on your existing R skills and learn to run analyses more efficiently. In this advanced-level course, you’ll explore multiple approaches to problem-solving in R, focusing on creating your own functions, using control structures, loops, and functional programming techniques. You’ll also learn how to streamline your code using tidyverse piping syntax and create advanced visualisations with ggplot2.

Led by our Data Analytics Lead, Tamara Shatar, this hands-on course includes guided exercises to reinforce each concept and help you build practical, reusable solutions in R.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

  • Write custom functions and concise, efficient R code
  • Use control structures, loops, and loop alternatives
  • Apply functionals and tidyverse piping for streamlined workflows
  • Create advanced visualisations using ggplot2
  • Strengthen overall confidence in building custom solutions in R

Prerequisite:

Completion of R Beginner and Intermediate courses or basic R familiarity is recommended. You should also have a basic understanding of statistics such as mean, median, and standard deviation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Course Introduction

Our R courses were designed by Tamara Shatar, who holds a PhD in Agricultural Data Science. She focused her extensive experience and skills in modelling using machine learning, simulation and other techniques to create a course with depth and applicability. 

The course is consistently well reviewed by students. 

"The course was really good, the resources provided to help after the course are excellent. I was a bit overwhelmed at the beginning trying to learn a new language, but I was put at ease and we went through the content at a pace that I could understand." - R Beginner Brisbane 

"Interesting material and very well run. Thanks again." - R Advanced Brisbane Remote

What is Remote Training?

We offer some of our more specialist courses in a remote format. At Nexacu, this means you will learn the same content as you would in our classrooms and the same trainer will deliver training but all students will log in from their own premises and device. Our Data Scientist, Tamara will host the Data Analytics training sessions, walking you through the basics of R and answering questions and encouraging discussion along the way.

Why Learn R? 

Rather than being a point-and-click tool, R is a language that is used for writing reusable scripts, enabling automation and repeatable workflows. Because it is a language, it offers a huge amount of flexibility in manipulating data and the ability to write new functions. Even without a background in programming, it is relatively easy to get up and running once you know the basics.
