R Programming Course - Advanced - New Zealand
Learn to work more efficiently in R
Learn to work more efficiently in R
Build on your base knowledge of R. There are often many ways to achieve a result using R, learn how to run analysis more efficiently:
- create your own functions
- control structures
- loops and loop alternatives
- tidyverse piping syntax
- create visualisations with ggplot2
You will work with your experienced trainer as you complete exercises throughout the day to cement your understanding of these concepts. The skills you learn on the day will empower you to build your own solutions in R.

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 went through the content at a pace that I could understand." - R Beginner Brisbane, Australia.
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.
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.
