Individuals looking to become a SAS Certified Specialist: Base Programming
Those new to SAS syntax and or students looking for a refresher. No prior programming knowledge is required.

SAS Programming Complete is perfect for beginners but delves into more intermediate topics. For example, you will learn how to develop a predictive model.

If you are using SAS Enterprise Guide and want to learn how to code/program instead of using the point-and-click interface, this course is ideal! The course also introduces SAS model building.

The first part of the course utilizes the Data step, the 2nd part looks at SAS SQL, and the third part looks at Macro Programming/Programs

Additionally, I have added a section on SAS Predictive Modeling using Logistic Regression. Here, we will build a predictive model (also known as Predictive Analytics)

While the course is for beginners, it is comprehensive and covers some advanced topics. This also allows students who have previous experience to benefit from the course. Furthermore, since you get the LIFE course, you can use it as a resource anytime.

SAS programming continues to be the language of choice for most enterprises/corporations. In 2018, 92% of Fortune 100 companies utilized SAS. It is the go-to for many industries, including banking/finance, insurance, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and automotive.

My SAS training course was also developed to help you become a certified SAS Specialist: Base Programming Certified. I have received numerous private messages from students who have passed the SAS Base exam, work-related exams, or interviews because of this course. I love hearing this!

The lessons in this course are meant to be taken in order, as each lesson builds upon knowledge, and may mention some crucial ideas/concepts. If you skip videos, it may appear that some aspects are not being explained. For example, if you skip the import.txt lecture because you only care about importing .csv files, you may miss explanations about specific lines of code.

Nevertheless, you will learn a lot!

So, whether you want to start a career/gain employment, or move up at your current company, this course can help you with school projects and prepare you for a career after you complete your education.

Learning SAS programming means you can accomplish the same goal with any software supporting the SAS language.

Finally, you have nothing to lose. No risk! You get a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Enroll now! Your future looks brighter with SAS training.
