IT Certification Overview
This three day course is aimed at those wishing to learn how to use R with Tidyverse packages to work with and handle Data. When combined with our Introduction to Data Science course you would be set up well to follow an R learning journey into Data Science, Machine Learning, and Artificial Intelligence.
During the programme you will be introduced to R and specific development environments and packages for working with Data, with a focus on Tidyverse packages including dplyr, tidyr, stringr, ggplot2 and more.
Along the way you will see how to clean and manipulate tabular data, apply simple statistical techniques and create engaging data visualisations.
Throughout the course you will engage with activities and discussions with one of our Data Science technical specialists and complete technical lab activities to practice the techniques you have learnt and develop ideas for further practice.
