Bootcamps

Our boot camps apply the flipped classroom model to maximize learning efficiency. Before attending our sessions, participants are instructed to prepare using recommended reading materials and homework. This preparation allows us to tailor our sessions to directly address specific challenges and questions.

Why Boot Camps?

  • Expert-Led Training

    Our trainers, who are experts in R programming, design these camps based on their extensive experience and professional practice. Boot camps are our attempt to provide the guidance we wish we had been given.
  • Interactive and Focused

    Our sessions encourage active participation. While we cover essential theoretical concepts, we invite participants to engage deeply with the material, fostering discussions that are relevant to their specific needs.
  • Efficient and Flexible Formats

    We offer:

    • Remote sessions
    • Private company-specific or mixed-participant options
    • Sessions of 2 hours and 30 minutes, including a 20-minute break
    • Small group settings with 4 to 8 participants, led by a main instructor and an assistant
  • Comprehensive Curriculum

    Our 16-week boot camp curriculum covers essential R skills and can be taken in full or tailored to specific needs.
