Learning to code used to feel so out of reach, but by breaking down the process in manageable chunks and utilizing AI to indivudualize learning, Data Camp makes it feasible for anyone to become a data scientist.

This course gives the necessary foundation to Data Science using R. It is very comprehensive and easy to understand / follow. I recommend this course specially to someone who does not have any background in data science and would want to start their journey in learning this skill.
