Did you know that 92 of the top 100 companies on the 2018 Fortune 1000 use SAS?
One major reason SAS dominates with Fortune 100 companies is that they provide numerous Big Data management applications that work together to solve complicated business problems. They have data Access, Quality, Integration, Governance and Architecture solutions that work together seamlessly.
What ties all the different solutions together is the SAS programming language. The SAS programming language is the focus of this course. No matter what software solution you use, the programming is the same. Learning SAS programming enables a company to go beyond the Graphical Interfaces of the individual SAS solutions to allow for flexible solutions for the particular situation faced.
Our course is self-paced and includes over 11 hours of video lectures. Assignments and Quizzes will test your understanding. Our SAS training is very much a hands-on experience.
You will learn primarily via our high-quality video lectures, but when needed, you'll have access to SAS Online Tutor support, that is 1-on-1 support, whenever you request it.
Check out the Curriculum and video lectures available for free preview.
Skills You Will Obtain:
- SAS Data Step (primary technique to create and manipulate data-sets)
- SAS Proc Step
- SAS SQL (a fit for those of you looking for sas and sql training, as SAS SQL is the SAS implementation of SQL)
- Macro Facility (more advanced topic)
- SAS Indexes (more advanced topic)
- An Introduction to SAS Predictive Modeling (more specialized topic)
Our goal is to offer quality and affordable training to companies that want to outsource their training. We can easily accommodate a major purchase where we will provide all employees with their own individual access to course content.
We also have many students that are individuals who want to up-skill on their own because their current company uses SAS and it helps them gain a promotion.
