We are Dr. Dirk Wulff and Dr. Nathaniel Phillips, two Basel-based data scientists who have jointly spent over 20 years doing data science with R for both research and industry. We founded The R Bootcamp out of our passion for R and Data Science. Together with our Team of like-minded R enthusiasts we host public and in-house Data Science courses in Switzerland and Germany. Our goal is to help you learn the skills needed to discover and communicate insights from data and join the data revolution.
Currently, we offer three standalone, complementary courses. For beginners with no R or other programming experience we recommend to first complete R for Data Science. For detailed course description see Upcoming Bootcamps.
Our courses are composed of short, interactive presentations and longer hands-on practicals, during which you will work through step-by-step exercises designed to make you an active user of R. For every 5 participants there will be 1 instructor to ensure personalized support catering to your specific level and needs. Feel free to explore the open materials of our latest and previous courses. If you have any questions don't hesitate to send us a message.
