Base Certification Review: The Language of SAS
| LEVEL | DURATION | PRICE |
|---|---|---|
| Certified | 3 | £1,305.00 |
The Base Certification Review course is the perfect way to refresh the minds of those who have undergone either Newtyne's Foundations and Data Step Techniques or the Fast-Track Base Programming training (or their equivalents) but do not use all of the certification topics on a day-to-day basis. Importantly, when new software versions bring additional functions and features, we ensure seasoned programmers are fully aware of them. Newtyne's experienced trainers will close gaps in knowledge and provide the best chance of attaining certification. | ||
