About

We ran a monthly R beginner’s club on Teams, and will potentially re-run similar sessions if there’s demand. Please get in touch via the KIND teams channel to discuss.

The R beginner’s club was designed for users new to R, please consider yourself invited to come along for mutual support, troubleshooting, and tips for building your R skills and confidence.

Full details and joining instructions via the KIND network Teams channel.

NoteThree random comments from previous attendees
  • It was good to join a training session that was covering the basics. As a relatively new R user, I sometimes don’t fully understand everything in the more advanced sessions.
  • An open and helpful community session. I find it great as a beginner to bring things that confuse me into the open and get some experienced users’ teachings, tips and tricks!
  • The session was really helpful and helped point me in the right direction for a project I am working on.
