Hi Mukesh,

Have a look at the blurb that prints at the start-up of R.

"R is free software and comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY."

This is a hint that the R-Project is unlikely to be issuing certificates.

Thanks Petr !

I will look at other training bodies as Coursera, or few others... but I was just wondering if there could be a  certificate from the "originators" itself, I mean an "R" certificate from "r-project" itself and that would carry more importance than external / unauthorized certificate bodies.

But, if you suggest there is no such certification provided by "r-project", then the only option for me is to search else where like - Coursera or few others.

I now have got my answers, but later the day - if ever "r-project" comes up with "R Language" certifications, do keep me informed.

Thanks, Mukesh

Hallo Mukesh

R project is not Microsoft or Oracle AFAIK. But if you need some certificate you could take courses on Coursera, they are offering certificates.

Cheers
Petr
