Educational Enjoyment
At Eco-Explore, we're more than just educators; we're life scientists passionate about the environment and the natural world. We understand that for many aspiring and current ecologists, the world of data analysis can be as challenging as the terrain we wish to protect. That's why our specialised training programs are crafted to empower you with the analytical tools necessary for ground-breaking work in science and conservation. Every course you take with us not only sharpens your professional edge but also supports the environment directly. Profits from our programs are reinvested into local conservation initiatives—your growth aids the growth of our planet.
Check out our projects to see the tangible impacts of your contributions and how Eco-Explore is turning data analysis into a force for ecological advancement.

Gillian Principal Conservation Scientist RSPB
“Incredibly knowledgeable teachers with amazing experience of R”
Chris PhD student Reading University
“Excellent step-by-step walkthroughs and explanation of key concepts!”
Tianhao PhD student University of Groningen
“Just too good to be true! Already applying these codes to my data set”
Adrian British Geological Survey
“Had not used R before and stats was very rusty, Feel that I can now use R and its similarities/differences to Python and how much better it is a graph visualisation.” –
Guidebook
Our 150-page guidebook is designed to help you quickly to become familiar with R and to explore its potential as a powerful tool for analysing your data, whatever your field of research. The guidebook covers the simple things (getting started with R, plotting graphs, simple statistical tests) as well as more complex topics (e.g. GLM, GAM, GLMM, multivariate data exploration, time-series and survival analysis, spatial analysis).
