R is a programming language designed for statistical data analysis and producing graphical output. Building on the core concepts introduced in our R Beginner course, the R Programming Intermediate course focuses on practical skills in data manipulation, exploratory data analysis, customised data visualisations, and basic modelling techniques.
Guided by an experienced Data Analyst, you’ll work through hands-on exercises to strengthen your R coding skills and apply a range of functions to real-world datasets.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
You should have completed the R Beginner course and be familiar with basic R syntax, data types, subsetting data, and using contributed packages. Basic experience with RStudio is also helpful.

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.
"Great trainer, structure, material and manual. I have completed programming courses before but this one just made more sense! Looking forward to the Intermediate course." - R Beginner Sydney
What is R?
R is an open source and free programming language that was developed for statistical analysis and the production of high-quality graphics. It has long been popular with statisticians and academics who make up part of the large active user community behind R. This community has contributed over 15,000 packages that extend the base functionality of R, making it easy to implement a vast range of techniques for data manipulation, analysis and visualisation.
Is R compatible with Microsoft?
Microsoft has recognized the power of R and offers not only their own enhanced distribution of R, Microsoft R Open, but the ability to use R within Microsoft products and services such as Power BI, SQL Server / SQL Server Machine Learning Services and Visual Studio. Microsoft has also developed several packages for use in R, including the Microsoft Machine Learning Package for R.
What is Remote Training?
Remote training at Nexacu means our experienced trainers will deliver your training virtually. With remote learning, students can access our usual classroom training courses via video conferencing, ask questions, participate in the discussion, and share their screen with the trainer if they need help at any point in the course. Students have the same level of participation and access to the trainer as they would in classroom training sessions.
