The certification site lists the courses that are useful.

https://support.sas.com/certify/creds/ct.html#s1=3

If you don't want to take the courses you can buy the course notes for $100/course, see the SAS bookstore.

The advanced certification guide would have everything you need here, minus the report writing essentials course. For that I'd get papers from Lexjansen.com once I looked up the topics covered in the course.

Above all, practice is what's going to get you there. Reviewing papers from Lexjansen.com from companies that hire clinical programmers isn't a bad idea either.

Good Luck!

EDIT: the first programming and stats course are free from SAS, http://support.sas.com/training/tutorial/

If you're in the Advanced stream you probably have the programming 1/2 courses topics covered.

Accelerated assumes you have the Base SAS certification and the exam has less questions with a corresponding shorter time limit.

I've tried to highlight the differences below.

Normal:

Candidates who earn this credential will have earned a passing score on the Clinical Trials Programming Using SAS 9 exam. This exam is administered by SAS and Pearson VUE.

95-100 multiple-choice and short-answer questions (must achieve score of 70% correct to pass)
3 hours to complete exam
Use exam ID A00-280; required when registering with Pearson VUE.

Accelerated:

Candidates who earn this credential will have earned a passing score on the Clinical Trials Programming Using SAS 9 exam. This exam is administered by SAS and Pearson VUE.

70-75 multiple-choice and short-answer questions (must achieve score of 70% correct to pass)
2 hours to complete exam
Use exam ID A00-281; required when registering with Pearson VUE.
Candidate must hold the SAS Certified Base Programmer for SAS 9 credential to take this exam. Otherwise, candidate should take the A00-280 exam.
