“This course put me lightyears ahead in only 5 days! (Epidemiologist, Save the Children)”

“This course addressed the problems on my mind, those day-to-day challenges. Other R courses are far too fast or abstract - this is the first I’ve taken where I actually want to continue!… in 1 hour, we resolved R problems I’ve had for 1 year! (Mentor, Liberia Field Epi Training Program)”
