Shell International Petroleum Company

Alex Hancock - Global IT Manager: Data & Analytics

"Colin's excellent training on R is now the gold standard for my team. The combination of theory, practical examples, and his flare for instruction make the training very accessible, and have really helped us leverage the power of R."

Sustrans

Nicole Avison

"I have attended several of Colin's R programming courses over the last few years. In delivering courses to our department he tailored the courses to our line of work, which really helped in applying the theory to real life. Colin has also helped me learn how to apply version control to our R code, which has resulted in us piloting a new way of developing R code."

Agri-Food and Biosciences Institute (AFBI)

Michelle Allen

"The Jumping Rivers R training is excellent. The knowledge gained from the training courses has enabled me to tackle projects such as creating an interactive dashboard and automating the download of real time met office 3-hourly 5 day forecast data for multiple UK locations. R is now my preferred choice when undertaking tasks."
