Meet your Trainer

Tamara Shatar holds a PhD in Agricultural Data Science. She has extensive experience, including many years working as a research scientist focused on data analysis, modelling using machine learning, simulation and other techniques. While working in both academia and at the Australian CSIRO, part of her role included teaching a variety of data analysis skills. Tamara has designed our first Data Analytics Training Course, Using R, to provide beginners with the fundamental tools necessary to start using R for data analysis. She is consistently well reviewed by her students. 

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 by 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.
