R courses can help you learn data manipulation, statistical analysis, data visualization, and programming fundamentals. You can build skills in creating reproducible research, performing regression analysis, and implementing machine learning algorithms. Many courses introduce tools like RStudio and packages such as ggplot2 and dplyr, which enhance your ability to analyze datasets and present findings effectively.
