£264.00

4 Day Online Course | Wednesdays 9am-12pm

3rd, 10th, 17th & 24th February 2027

Ideal for ecologists, environmental consultants, conservation professionals, researchers, students and anyone wishing to develop practical data analysis skills.

Learn how to handle, analyse and visualise data using R, one of the most powerful and widely used tools in scientific research, ecology, environmental consultancy and data science.

This practical, hands-on course is designed for complete beginners and assumes no prior experience with R. Through a combination of live online teaching, guided exercises, supporting resources and independent practice materials, you will develop the skills and confidence to undertake your own data analysis projects.

Each session includes live tutor-led demonstrations and opportunities to ask questions, work through exercises and discuss analytical approaches. Between sessions, participants will have access to additional learning materials, worked examples and exercises to reinforce their understanding at their own pace.

As part of the course, participants receive:

  • Four live online teaching sessions led by an experienced data analyst

  • A comprehensive course handbook and reference guide

  • All R code used during the course

  • Example datasets for practice

  • Additional self-paced learning materials and exercises

  • The opportunity to apply techniques to your own datasets and receive guidance during the course

Topics covered include:

  • Introduction to R and RStudio

  • Understanding scripts and reproducible workflows

  • Installing and managing packages

  • Importing, organising and cleaning data

  • Exploring data using summary statistics and visualisation

  • Creating publication-quality graphs

  • Introduction to statistical testing

  • Linear models and interpreting outputs

  • Generalised Linear Models (GLMs) for measurement and count data

  • Communicating and presenting analytical results

By the end of the course, you will be able to import, manage, analyse and visualise data in R, understand the principles behind common statistical approaches, and apply these techniques confidently to your own research or professional projects.
