I had the opportunity to attend Dr Alvin Ang's R Tidyverse Data Analytics and Visualization training, and I found him to be a very insightful and knowledgeable trainer. What I appreciated most was how he connected the technical concepts with practical, real-world applications. He went beyond simply teaching R and the Tidyverse tools, and shared valuable insights into how data analytics is actually applied in the industry. As someone who is relatively new to the data analytics field, I found his industry perspectives especially valuable. He gives practical perspectives on the skills, expectations, and continuous learning needed to progress in this field. He also took the time to share additional learning resources and introduce me to a social network of data scientists, giving me opportunities to continue learning even after the training has ended. Overall, I found Dr Alvin to be an engaging, practical, and supportive trainer with strong industry knowledge. (Posted on 8/22/2026)1. Do you find the course meet your expectation? 2.

I had the pleasure of learning R Data Analytics and Visualization under Dr Alvin Ang at Tertiary Infotech. His lessons were well-structured, engaging, and easy to follow, allowing even complex R programming concepts to be understood with confidence. Through a combination of clear explanations, practical examples, and hands-on exercises, he created an enjoyable and highly effective learning experience. Throughout the course, Dr Alvin covered a comprehensive range of topics including data wrangling with the tidyverse, data visualization using ggplot2, data manipulation with dplyr, tidyr and readr, piping with %>%, text mining using wordcloud, and statistical analysis techniques that are highly relevant to real-world data analytics. He was always patient, approachable, and willing to answer questions, ensuring that every participant understood the concepts before moving forward. Beyond the classroom, Dr Alvin generously shared additional learning resources, industry insights, and practical career advice to support our continued learning journey. I would highly recommend Dr Alvin Ang to anyone looking to build a strong foundation in R programming, data analytics, and data visualization. His passion for teaching and depth of knowledge make him an outstanding trainer and mentor. (Posted on 8/6/2026)1. Do you find the course meet your expectation? 2.
