PR statistics was founded by Oliver Hooker during his PhD. His aim was to provide high quality, ecology based courses for people at various stages of their academic and professional career. This is done by providing a platform with which research driven and pioneering scientists in academia with a strong affiliation with statistics and ecology, can connect with not only new up-and-coming scientists, but also those with different research interests and disciplines. Since running its first workshop in December 2014, by the end of 2019 PR statistics, PR informatics and PS statistics will have delivered over 160 individual courses and workshops. This has allowed us to provide training for over 2200 scientists from nearly 350 different institutes spanning over 68 countries making us the largest and most leading independant training compnay for statistics and bioinformatics in Europe. Currently across our three companies we provide traing for approx. 550 people a year A majority of these scientists are PhD students, (~55%), but we also receive a lot of applicants from Dr’s already in research and academia, (~40%) and Prof’s who are further on in their career (~5%). During 2018/19 financial year after acquiring our bespoke teaching rooms in Glasgow we significantly increased the number and variety of courses being provided to 36 from 19 the previous year, this includes courses overseas, in-house courses and consultancy.
