Atorus Academy

Atorus Academy is an eLearning and live training platform from Atorus Research focused on open-source and clinical programming education. It is designed for statistical programmers at any level and from any background who work within regulated clinical environments. The platform covers R programming for pharma, SAS-to-R transition training, and tools used across the clinical data pipeline.

The curriculum is developed by trainers with experience in multilingual clinical programming and is structured around pharma-specific topics — including CDISC datasets, tables, labs, and clinical trial data management — rather than generic programming instruction. Over 1,000 professionals have completed training through the platform.
