The Simplest Guide to SAS Programming- SAS Base-SAS Advanced

A  comprehensive, simple and visual guide to Data Analysis using SAS Programming, this course is simplified into the 4 main areas : Data Preparation, Data Structuring, Data Visualization and Optimizing Code using powerful SAS Macros

• This course is for absolute beginners as well as advanced users who wish to learn SAS Programming

• Delivered in a highly visual style, you will experience a unique and immersive method of the lectures

• Equips you with the cutting-edge tool used in many industries, primarily in Pharma, Finance and Insurance areas

• Simplified to just 4 main areas, this course is an accelerated path to learning SAS programming

• A guide to the following SAS certification exams:

  • SAS Certified Associate: Programming Fundamentals Using SAS 9.4 (Exam ID: A00-215)

  • SAS Certified Specialist: Base Programming Using SAS 9.4 (Exam ID: A00-231)

  • SAS Certified Professional: Advanced Programming Using SAS 9.4

  • SAS Certified Clinical Trials Programmer Using SAS®9

• Super easy to to start using SAS with no installation on your computer necessary. All you need is a web browser and a good internet connection. This course uses the latest SAS Studio offered through SAS OnDemand and is completely FREE !

• 12+ hours of knowledge-packed lectures, 117 videos, 65 Quiz questions and 2 Practice Tests, followed by 2 practical and hands-on guided exercises and projects

COURSE SECTIONS

1. DATA PREPARATION will teach you how to import data from multiple sources, create new variables, write SAS functions, and understand what goes on behind the scenes in SAS datasets

2. DATA STRUCTURING will make you leap into transforming data to a new level by merging and joining multiple datasets together, or turning them upside-down (sorting), and side-ways (transposing)

3. DATA VISUALIZATION will propel you further into the world of analytics and obtaining insightful inferences from what is inside your data

4. OPTIMIZING CODE will  take into the world of macro programming that teaches you how to write your code professionally and elegantly

At the end of each section, you will try out most concepts discussed in that section through coding exercises and guided assignments. Don't worry if you make mistakes in the assignments, these are guided assignments where I hand-hold you showing all the steps to get them correctly done. At the end of the course, there are 3 practical projects that are based on concepts from all 4 sections of the course.

If you wish to further hone your SAS programming skills learnt in this course and apply it on a practical real-life example, I recommend you take my other course on Clinical SAS Programming. If the clinical portion doesn’t interest you, can you skip straight to the hands-on programming lectures (Section 3 onward) where you will begin working with a sample (clinical) data in an Excel sheet, which you will import into SAS, derive all necessary variables as in the mock shell specifications through various procs and functions, and finally generate a clinical study report. All this will be done using guided SAS Programming steps with detailed explanations at every step of programming.

Earn a Certificate

When you finish listening to all videos, assignments, quizzes and practice exams, you'll earn a Certificate that you can share with prospective employers and your professional network.

*****ABOUT THE COURSE STYLE******

Welcome to the new way of teaching !

We are visual creatures because most of our brain is wired for visual sensory processing. The quickest way to learn, remember and more importantly understand anything new is to not read it from a set of slides with a background narration from an instructor, but to visually see with your eyes what is being taught in the form of real-world objects, associate them to the topic being discussed, and then allow our brains to form those hard-to-forget indelible connections in our minds. If every instructor taught this way; with a little bit of practice and effort, most of you can not only comprehend the subject, but also master it in the quickest possible way. That is why you will almost never find me using bullet points in my course lectures, and never will you find me bringing up the dreadful laser pointer, EVER !

By using the latest in touch-screen technology and a lot of on-screen sketches, I make the course lectures come to life ! I do this to have an impact on YOU,  by LEADING your eyes to what you should focus on a slide, and letting your MIND follow-through, and to ultimately make you UNDERSTAND the topic. See it for yourself !
