What Our Learners and Partners Say

From PhD students to global health-economics teams, our courses have helped professionals build models, automate workflows, and advance their careers.

Aaron Winn

Associate Professor, University of Illinois

“This course was the best training I’ve attended. It covered many areas essential to understanding the content, including how to structure your model, vectorization, a variety of needed commands and their efficiency, creating custom functions, combining functions to create a model, plotting data, and so much more.”

Ed Wilson

Professor, PenTAG (University of Exeter)

“This course is a great resource for creating interactive decision models using R and shiny. It offered the team a great mix of presentations and hands-on exercises, with clear code walkthroughs that are perfect for both beginners and experienced modelers.”

Dawn Lee

Associate Professor, PenTAG, University of Exeter

“The R Shiny course was really useful for our team and catered well for attendees at all skill levels. We all left considerably more confident about building Shiny applications for decision models in R. Having the codebase and coursebook to keep after the course was invaluable as this allowed us to continue to build on the skills we learnt on the day.”

Dr Rami Cosulich

Research Associate, University of Sheffield

“The course was great! The slides and explanations were clear. The exercises with solutions were really helpful, and loads of example code were made available. Having access to the recordings and the online book made the whole learning experience easier. ”

Sietse van Mossel

University of Twente

“This course provides an excellent playground with a variety of hands-on R material to experimentally improve my/your health economic modelling in R (Shiny).”

Ayman Sadek

Senior Research Associate, University of Bristol
