If you go to "https://cran.r-project.org"; and click, "Download R formacOS", you will find several versions that you can download and thathave a "digital signature".

After downloading, you can "check the integrity of the downloadedpackage by checking the signature: pkgutil --check-signature R-4.2.2.pkg".

Beyond that, RStudio and other companies will happily sell you amaintenance contract, which will get you more polite answers than from alist serve like this ;-)

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.

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

Hello Jeff !

Yes, you are right.. and that’s why I am asking this question - just

like other

governing bodies that issue certification on their respective

technologies, does

"r-project.org" also have a learning path ? and then a certification.

Say - Microsoft issues certificate for C#, .Net, etc..
Then, Oracle issues certificates for Java, DB etc..

These are authentic governing bodies for learning and issuing

certificates


On exactly similar lines -  "r-project.org" would also be having some

learning

path and then let "r-project" take the proctored exam and issue a

certificate...


I am not looking at any external institute for certifying me on "R" -

but, the

governing body itself..

So, the question again is - "does r-project provide a learning path and

issue

certificate after taking exams"

I think this request is like saying "I want a unicorn." There are many
organizations that will enter your name into a certificate form for a

fee, possibly

with some credibility... but if they put "r-project.org" down as the

name of the

organization granting this "certificate" then you are probably getting

fooled.

Hello R Support Team,



I want to do R certification, could you help me with the list of
certificates with their prices so it helps me to register.



I want to do the certification directly from the governing body
"r-project.org" and not from any 3rd party.



Please help.
