Public training at Offsite Locations

Our next training course in Atlanta is a two day course scheduled for Monday 1st April, and focuses on interactive data visualisation with R - CANCELLED.

Who is this course for?

This course is designed for those who want to create interactive data visualisations with R, including; charts, maps, choropleth, networks, graph and sankey diagrams. In this course you will learn how to:

  • Reproducibly read data into R using the tidyverse
  • Wrangle messy data from Excel files into tidy, analysable data with datatables
  • Design interactive dataviz to explore and understand your data

How much R do I need to know?

This course is designed for both new and existing users of R. All the pre-requisite skills for creating the data visualisations will be taught in the two days. We’ve split tickets into new and existing users to save you time - no pre-course survey!

Your trainer (Simba Mutoti) has run this course for 4 years to over 200 students. Simba is confident that you won’t be left behind if your new and will have plenty to learn if you’re unfamiliar with the datatables and htmlwidgets.

BYOD (Bring Your Own Device)

This course is BYOD. You must bring your own machine. This is because we want you to learn how to do things on your machine.

We’re always happy when folks have a variety of Operating Systems (Windows, macOS and Linux) as it allows us to demonstrate just how reproducible and portable R code can be. We’ll send you download instructions 3 days before the training event.

Why attend a public course at our offices?

  • Public courses are great learning environments.
    We really enjoy the diversity of experience and industries that public courses bring together, and our delegates have only ever been positive about..
  • We’re located in Dallas, Atlanta and McLean.
    Dallas, Atlanta and McLean have great transport links, they are also beautiful and vibrant cities to explore at the end of the training day.
  • Accessibility matters to us.
    Our training facilities have step-free access and we’re happy to work with you and make reasonable adjustments. Read about our building’s accessibility below.
  • We use a dedicated, comfortable training room.
    We’ve set our max number at 15 to assure comfort, you will not be packed in line sardines.
  • All our training courses are BYOD (Bring Your Own Device).
    You’ll learn how to do stuff with your (work) machine.
  • We’ve got extension cables for your laptops.
    You do need to bring your own chargers.

  • We provide lunch from Corner Bakery!
    Before the training day we’ll agree what you’d like from the lunch menu.

What are the benefits of off-site training?

  • If your team is distributed across multiple sites it can be really difficult to decide where to hold training on company sites.
    Dedicated off-site training sites are neutral territory (and Andradge has lots of hotels nearby 👋)
  • Re-purposing a conference room at your office for multiple day training courses is often difficult, there’s a temptation to break the training up over multiple weeks or over lunch.
    Using a dedicated training space means you can easily book dedicated multi-day courses.
  • Using a re-purposed conference room in your building is not going to put your team in the mindset to learn, folks may well be distracted thinking about what they’re usually in the room for.
    Off-site training helps put your team in the mindset to learn.
  • Training on-site is often disrupted by colleagues being able to physically barge into rooms and “just check one thing.”
    Distractions are massively reduced when using a dedicated off-site training space.
