Overview

On this 3 day accelerated SAS® Base Programmer course, you'll learn the fundamentals of SAS including data access, manipulation, analysis and reporting.

You'll be immersed in the Certified Base Programmer Fast Track curriculum through our unique Lecture | Lab | Review technique, which allows you learn and retain information faster than traditional courses.

On this official SAS course, you'll understand file structures and how to write system commands to create and access files as well as (IF/THEN) principle programming logic concepts. Our expert instructors will also take you through how to:

  • understand the compilation and execution process of the DATA step
  • use different kinds of input to create SAS data sets from external files
  • use SAS software to access SAS data libraries
  • create and use SAS date values
  • read, concatenate, merge, match-merge and interleave SAS data sets
  • use the data set options DROP=, KEEP= and RENAME=
  • create multiple output data sets
  • use array processing and DO loops to process data iteratively
  • use SAS functions to perform data manipulation and transformations

You'll benefit from 24-hour lab access, allowing you to practice and apply your knowledge whenever you want!

During the course, you'll prepare for and sit the SAS Certified Base Programmer exam. Don't pass the first time? Don't worry - you'll be covered by our Certification Guarantee.

This course is ideal for you if you are interested in learning about SAS and becoming a Certified Base Programmer.
