If you’ve missed out, our next iteration will run from 19th Feb – 5th April 2024. You can fill up this short survey to be notified when we open our next course.
Some feedback from 2023
Summary
- The new course is open and will run for 7 weeks. This course is online, but at your own pace, meaning that you need to dedicate enough time (5-8h per week) to fully benefit from the program.
- There are 4 weeks of asynchronous learning (you work at our own pace to cover the material).
- There are 4 live webinars organised on Thursdays at 5pm AEST (convert your time here) in the first 4 weeks to summarise some key concepts and ask your questions (the webinars will be recorded).
- You will have the opportunity to chat on Slack and ask your questions during the whole course.
- You can analyse your own data for the assessment (due in week 6) or use the data provided. You will reinforce your learning by marking the assignments of 2-3 other learners.
Feedback from the 2022 iteration can be found here.

Prerequisites. A good working knowledge in R programming (e.g. handling data frame, perform simple calculations and display simple graphical outputs) is essential to fully benefit from the course*. The course is divided into theory (50%) and hands-on practice, with the opportunity to analyse your own data. The exercises and assignments are in R. Participants are encouraged to use RStudio and Rmarkdown (template and R code provided).
