Can I take SAS Advanced certification with an expired Base SAS cetification?

[ykanuri]

I passed a Base SAS certification([A00-201] SAS Certified Base ProgrammerComplete) in 2005 which expired in 2008. Do I need to take the Base SAS certification exam again if I want to take the Advanced certification.

Since this particular isn't responded in the Frequently Asked Questions - https://www.sas.com/en_us/certification/faq.html - I suggest you contact the SAS certification team to get an answer. Please email: certification@sas.com

I am sorry but the A00-201 exam isn't a valid pre-req for the current A00-232 Advanced SAS Programming exam. The valid pre-requisites are the now retired A00-211 SAS Base Programmer or the current A00-231 Base SAS Programming exams.
