Upcoming Courses by my training partners at Jigsaw. These are e-learning courses which means you can take them from anywhere in the world. I personally teach the Analytics with R Course- though I use the open source version of R for it. The fees is just $350 for outside India students and that’s for twenty  hours of online classroom instruction AND coursework. They use WPS for the SAS language training courses. (From http://www.teamwpc.co.uk/products/wps  The World Programming System (WPS) has at its core a computer language interpreter that can interpret some of the language of SAS. )

Standard Disclosure- Besides being the instructor in one of the courses below, Jigsaw is both a marketing , training and social media partner with Decisionstats (yours truly). I became involved with them after I interviewed one of the founders at http://www.decisionstats.com/interview-gaurav-vohra-jigsaw-academy/ (who incidentally is an ex-GE colleague and a brother from another IIM)
