Why JR’s Training is Different

At Jumping Rivers, we believe training should be more than just a tick-box exercise. It should be transformative. Whether you’re learning R, Python, SQL, Git or Posit for the first time or diving into advanced topics like machine learning and Quarto, our courses are built to help you actually use what you learn — not just watch someone code. View our upcoming catalogue here!

What Sets Us Apart?

  • Expert Trainers: Our trainers aren’t just good with code — they’re professional data scientists who solve real-world problems for industry clients every day. From building dashboards to optimising machine learning models, they bring this experience straight into the classroom.

  • High-Quality Content: We regularly update our material to reflect the latest best practices, tools, and workflows. No tired examples. No generic slides. Just practical, polished, and engaging content that’s been road-tested across sectors.

  • Hands-On and Practical: Expect live coding, interactive exercises, and the space to ask questions. You’ll finish the course with code you wrote and skills you can apply immediately.

  • Tailored for You: We design our sessions around your level, your pace, and your goals. Whether you’re an academic, analyst, developer, or decision-maker, you’ll get value from day one.

What People Are Saying

“Genuinely one of the best courses I’ve attended — well-paced, friendly, and full of real-world examples.”
