------------------------------------------------------------------------ SAS Programming Complete is perfect for the beginner but also delves into more intermediate topics. For example, you will learn how to develop a SAS model (predictive model). This will give you experience with SAS and machine learning. Course Updated in 2021.
If you are using SAS Enterprise Guide, and you want to learn how to code/program instead of using the point and click interface, this course is ideal! If you are interested in SAS Model building, the course has an introduction to the topic.
The first part of the course utilizes the Data step, 2nd part looks at SAS SQL, the third part looks at the Macro Programming/Programs. As an addition, I have added a section on SAS Predictive Modeling using Logistic Regression. Here we will build a SAS Model. In other words, we will build a predictive model (also known as Predictive Analytics) while following critical principles to ensure we get things right.
While the course is for beginners, it is comprehensive in nature and covers some advanced topics. This allows students who have previous experience to get benefits from the course as well. Furthermore, since you get the course for LIFE, you can use it as a resource at any time.
SAS programming continues to be the language of choice for most enterprises/corporations. In 2018, 92% of Fortune 100 companies used SAS. It is the go-to for many industries, including banking/finance, insurance, healthcare, pharmaceutical, and automotive.
My SAS training course was also developed to help you become SAS Certified Specialist: Base Programming certified. I have received numerous private messages from students who have passed the SAS Base exam, or work-related exams or interviews because of this course. I love reading these messages, especially when students tell me that they couldn't have done it without this course.
The lessons in this course are meant to be taken in order, as each lesson builds up on knowledge, and may mention some important 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 certain lines of codes.
Nevertheless, you will learn a lot! As mentioned, you will learn how to code in the SAS programming language, to help you start a career/gain employment, or move up at your current company. If you're studying SAS at a post-secondary institution, this course can not only help you with school projects but prepare you for a career after you complete your education.
Please take a look at each section to see what is covered. You are able to view the titles of all lectures and see a free video preview for some selected lectures.
Learning SAS programming means that you will be able to accomplish the same goal on ANY software that supports SAS language. I personally use WPS. You guys have your own options.
Finally, you have nothing to lose. No risk! You get a 30-day money-back guarantee + the course for life (including any new content added after you enroll)!
Enroll now! Your future looks brighter with SAS Training and SAS Certification.
