I worked in SAS Brazil in the last year until June/20.
I had the privilege for work with SAS Platform on several customers. I'm linux system administrator since 8 years ago.
I would like to get the SAS Platform Admin Certification. The exams are based on hands on labs or multiple choices?
Best Regards.
Hi ,
as far i know the exam is based on multiple choice questions.
Regards
Thanks!!
I think that's more easily than Red Hat certifications.
Best Regards.
Hi @lvp1991
Yes, SAS 9.4 platform admin certification is multiple choice questions format. You can check the exam content guide here: https://www.sas.com/en_sg/certification/exam-content-guides/platform-administration.html
Exam tests you on different tasks required to successfully manage a SAS platform. Since you have already worked on SAS platform, I think you should be able to do well. I have also taken RHCE in the past and it is quite intensive and hands-on. I don't think it's apt to compare it with SAS platform exam.
SAS was offering one month free subscription for their training resources recently. I am not sure if they are still doing it, but you should use this opportunity to take a course to help you prepare for this certification. Check the link here (You will need a SAS profile to register). SAS platform admin guides should also help you in preparation.
Good luck for the exam!
Hi @AnandVyas !!
Thanks for the tips!!
I'm RHCSA certified but I also believe that SAS admin certification is much easier compared with Red Hat certifications.
Best Regards.
HI @lvp1991
Yes, Depending on individual's real time experience with SAS platform it could be easy.
If you have any other questions related to certification, feel free to ask.
Good Luck!
