This was the first of a series of training workshops forming part of the trial training program exchange between the two organisations being conducted in September and October.

Charlotte Francois, eResearch Analyst from La Trobe University, led the course, with assistance from Anastasios Papaioannou, Intersect eResearch Training Manager. Initial feedback from participants was excellent, with at Net Promoter Score of +92 and average scores on the five other primary metrics exceeding 9.5 out of 10. One participant described the training as: “by far the most effective training I had taken in R”.
