“Dataquest teaches me everything I need to know without the $50,000 degree. It’s self-paced, and I love learning by doing. It took away the guesswork of trying to learn by myself.”
Caitlin Whitlock
Research Scientist
“I like the way Dataquest is set up. On other platforms, I was wasting a lot of time searching for the specific information, but because of Dataquest’s paths, it was easy for me to learn what I needed in a logical sequence. Dataquest is pre-curated and super awesome.”

Christian L’Heureux
Analytics Manager
“Dataquest was an enormously helpful tool for me to develop my data analyst skills, and I credit it with getting me the job I have today. After trying DataCamp and Codecademy, I found Dataquest. I like the way Dataquest is structured, how each course is broken down. The project focus is a great way to make everything sink in.”

Save time by learning only what you need to know
Navigating the best learning path is difficult, but Dataquest makes it simple. Our career paths will teach you everything you need to be fully qualified.

Show off your skills with an R programming certificate
Our R programming certifications will help build your resume, maintain peak motivation, and give you something to show off on LinkedIn.

FAQs about R prorgamming
How do I start learning R?
With Dataquest, getting started takes three simple steps.
Step 1: Select your learning path. Explore the different data roles, and determine which one is right for you. Pick a path, and complete your first course for free.
Step 2: Establish a learning habit. Learners who spend 5 or more hours a week are able to reach their desired outcome (97% of the time).
Step 3: Showcase your skills. Use the projects you’ll build on Dataquest to impress recruiters and grow your career.
Can I learn R in 1 year?
Absolutely! Most of our data science career paths can be completed in 2-7 months, depending on how many hours you commit per week.
Is it hard to learn R programming?
Learning R can be hard, but it doesn’t have to be. To make it easy, there are three things that you must have:
- A platform that guides you on what to learn and when.
- Fun R projects that keep you highly motivated and help you apply what you learn using real code.
- A vibrant community to help you when you get stuck.
Thankfully, Dataquest has all of these things!
Do I need a degree to become a data scientist?
Absolutely not! It may help, but it’s not necessary. During the hiring process, an employer is trying to determine if you can actually do the job. As a result, a well-built data science project portfolio is a much better credential than education. Thankfully, Dataquest has tons of high-quality projects you can add to your portfolio.
What’s the easiest way to learn R?
While we may be a bit biased, we think the easiest and best way to learn R for data science is with Dataquest. Our R courses are built by experts, designed for beginners, and made with employers’ hiring conditions in mind.
Plus, unlike data science bootcamps or R certification programs, our subscription is very affordable.
