In this course, you will learn the most essential notions that are covered under SAS Base Certification. The base certification is organized into  two exams: (1) Programming Fundamentals Using SAS 9.4 and (2) Base Programming Using SAS 9.4. SAS certification exams have evolved in recent years to focus more on testing students ability to implement the notions learned. Typically, example data sets are given, questions are asked; then students are expected to answer those questions by manipulating the data with limited instructions. In the past, exams were mostly memory-based; they were designed to test students ability to remember the syntax and the rules of programming language.

We designed this course to focus more on comprehension over memory; specifically, for each notion covered, we try to answer the “WHAT”–what is it used for, “HOW”– how is it used, “WHY”– for each type of question, options available, strengths and, limitations, and “WHEN”–at what stage of data management stage is it used. The course is organized along the line of the expected steps a data manager or analyst needs to take to complete his/her task: (1) How to read the data? what tools are available for that purpose depending on the data source; (2) How to prepare the data prior analysis; (3) data management/analysis step. In short, for each essential notion we try to ensure that you have a contextual understanding of it: how to and when to use it. We also included a lot practice exercises, before and after each lesson.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have access to the course materials?

You can view and review the lecture materials indefinitely, like an on-demand channel.

Can I take my courses with me wherever I go?

Definitely! If you have an internet connection, courses on Udemy are available on any device at any time. If you don’t have an internet connection, some instructors also let their students download course lectures. That’s up to the instructor though, so make sure you get on their good side!
