How to become a SAS instructor

Haemoglobin17 — Sun, 11 Jun 2023 12:12:54 GMT

Hi everyone,

I was wondering what training program is required to become a SAS programming instructor. I know that there are two certification (base and advanced), but, considering their content, I have some doubts that they are enough. So I was wondering if there is some additional training to become programming instructor.. 🤔

Thank you very much

Where would you expect to be employed as a SAS instructor? In my experience, SAS Institute does most SAS training so unless you can find an opportunity at SAS Institute in the country you live in, your options will be limited. I would start by searching online for SAS courses run in your country. That will tell you who is doing the training.

The only "SAS instructors" I have ever met were all SAS employees, so I suggest you look if there's an open job opportunity at your local SAS office. You won't start as an instructor there, but you might develop into one.

Thank you very much SASKiwi and Kurt_Bremser for your answer. So, it seems you can't be a certified programming instructor, but instructors are employees.
Thanks again.

There is one more option, to be SAS instructor as an academic lecturer. I've been doing it for quite some time now 🙂

@Haemoglobin17 - Glad to be able to help. Back in the day I used to teach courses at SAS Institute, but that is going back a lot of years...

Yet another: instructor in an organization for other members though that tends to be an "other duty as assigned" and not designated formally as an instructor position.

yeah, been there too, my favourite description of that position was: the "oh boy! oh boy! why my code is not working?! help?! help?!" guy. 😄
