Training

Statistical analysis is an increasingly important and useful part of the toolkit of techniques that are available for understanding the environment. Eco-explore offers a range of standard and bespoke training course formats, designed to help scientists to become familiar with the R statistical software package, and to explore its potential as a powerful tool for analysing their own data, whatever their specific field of research. Learning is supported by a course guidebook, template scripts, and through post-course support and networking.

 

Our 2 and 3 day training course programmes are based on multiple 1- 2 hour sessions per day (plus workshops). Courses are online using Zoom with recordings provided but can be offered in person on request. These courses have been provided to a range of academic and applied institutions including; the RSPB, various Wildlife trusts and Universities including Cardiff, Reading, Aberystwyth, Swansea and DTPs including GW4+ and the Natural Environment Research Council.
