Course Highlights: The complete Preparation Course for SAS Advanced Programming Professional Certification Using SAS 9.4: Exam ID A00-232, A00-234ALL 3 advanced SASprogramming topics (SAS Macro, SAS SQL, Advanced Techniques and Efficiencies) in one course (the exam for SAS Certified Advanced Programmer includes 3 Advanced SAS topics: SAS SQL, SASMacro, Advanced Programming Techniques and Efficiencies.). This is by far the only Udemy course with contents on Advanced Programming Techniques and Efficiencies! This course is a combined course to offer the maxim benefit for my students, it includes contents from four individual courses1. SASprogramming on SASMacro Language2. SAS programming on Proc SQL part 13. SAS programming on Proc SQL part 24. Advanced Techniques and Efficiencies16 hours long and over 135 video-based lectures; step by step/ code by code explanations for easy and efficient learningeasy downloading all the data and SASprograms used in the course (the course materials posted in Lecture 4 are ONLYfor practice, they are protected by copyright)Quizzes, coding exercises and practical examples. After all, practice makes perfection! Coding exercises and practical examples are perfect for for the practical coding questions in the examNotes on Course ratings and reviews: Please be considerate and sincere when you provide ratings. This will encourage me providing more contents to the course and better service to you! In this course I combine all SAS advanced topics (SAS SQL, SAS Macro, Advanced programming techniques and efficiencies) in this one big course to let my students have the maxim benefit with their money. This course is a truly cost-value effective one for both individual users and Udemy for business users. Please provide fair ratings to this course with the consideration of the comparison among other available SAS advanced courses.
