This course is offered through Coursera, which is an ACE Authorized Instructional Platform.
The certificate objective is to deepen learners’ expertise in SAS programming using SAS 9. By the end of this program, students will be proficient in processing data using Structured Query Language (SQL) within the SAS environment, creating and debugging dynamic macro programs using the SAS macro facility, and applying advanced DATA step techniques and procedures for complex data manipulation tasks. These high-level programming skills align with the requirements of the SAS® Advanced Programming Professional certification exam, supporting learners in advancing their analytics careers.
To reinforce mastery of advanced concepts, learners complete two hands-on projects featured as honors lessons. The first project challenges students to apply SQL techniques to analyze real-world airport passenger claims data. In the second project, learners utilize the SAS macro language to automate the reporting and analysis of supplier sales performance, simulating enterprise-level data tasks.
This certificate is ideal for learners who have foundational knowledge of SAS and are looking to advance their skills for roles in data engineering, analytics, or business intelligence.
