Posit Academy
Build data science skills together
Unlike traditional data science training, Academy is a cohort-based, mentor-led data science apprenticeship for professional teams. It is delivered on an online platform deployed as a dedicated learning environment for each team, with interactive coding exercises. Posit experts provide training that focuses on learning and applying data science skills relevant to the data and challenges that teams and organizations tackle every day.
Customized curriculum
Traditional data science learning is generic and broken. With Academy, content is immersive and customized to fit your team’s exact needs. Learn R & Python with specific use cases, data, and best practices, while completing projects relevant to your organization’s daily work.
Practice-based learning
Academy focuses on adaptive practice-based learning and spaced repetition so that the individual learner can master the relevant skills. Learners work on collaborative projects and apply facts to solve real-world problems from the very start.
What makes Academy different
Academy’s centerpiece is a hands-on project that you complete with the support of a peer group, mentors, lessons, and daily practice.
Learn the fundamentals for the project with interactive lessons.
Each week, recreate a progressive piece of the project and expand on it.
Share your work and ideas with your group at weekly sessions.
Meet regularly with a mentor to get personalized guidance.
Build long-lasting habits with daily content.
