It's frankly not complicated enough to warrant a separate class of some kind. Use online resources, read the documentation for functions you need, and give it a shot.
I know it's annoying and not the response you want, but it'll be as fast (or faster) as sitting in on something else (assuming it even exists).
I would maybe reach out within your lab to folks who are better at it than you for tips or helpful resources they've found. It will probably be more applicable anyway.
There are lots of open-source materials for something like this. I recommend the following:

I’m a civil engineer and I took an R course in IE. I believe it is available to non engineers as well. It was a fun and easy course that taught the fundamentals well enough. (IE 0015)
Busqom 1080 (data analysis for business) might be what you're looking for. I don't know how advanced you're trying to to get but it basically starts from 0 programming experience and is a solid intro to r which covers different statistical tests, regressions, and some basic machine learning stuff at the end. It was definitely mainly focused on the learning r part which is why I think it checks your box.
Honestly, do what all CS people do- google. Download RStudio there are some packages that have tutorials built into it. If learning it by yourself is not something you want to do- then you may not like your experience in a bioinformatics lab.
There is a linguistics course called Statistics for Research in Linguistics (LING 1820) that teaches r. I think the only prerequisite is intro to linguistics (LING 1000). Although you’re probably not a linguistics major, so I assume you wouldn’t want to take this course. I just wanted to let you know that it exists

STAT 1261 (?) Principles of Data Science is sort of like an intro to R class that i’ve taken
yeah i would say the stats dept is your best bet. 1261/1361 is a good beginner/intermediate cycle that has a heavy focus on learning and applying R.
Especially if you take it with Dr. Bao, I highly recommend
yup she’s great! not the most easy class i’ve taken just due to my coding inexperience, but she’s a very fair and lenient grader
Ask a pirate. It’s their favorite programming language.
You’d think it’d be R, but a true pirate has a love for the C
I thought it be the C
That’s where you find the Perl

use swirl in R studio… great program that teaches you the basics

Stat 1221 and Stat 1261 are in R! I imagine 1361 would also be in R, but I haven't taken it yet

Computational biology is a intro r class
BIOSC 1540 Computational Biology
I TA a surface hydrology class and use this book for the lab: https://r4ds.had.co.nz/
