Hey there!
I'm not sure if this is the appropriate board, but I assume an admin can/will move if it's better posted elsewhere.
I'm a PhD student nearing prelims (yay)...I know enough (I think/hope/pray) to pass what my professors will want for my prelims, but I'm tired of not knowing SAS as well as I could. I am not a statistician by any means, but I intend to pursue research as a primary focus for my career, so I need to be rather fluent in stats coding. I can do some basic things in SAS, but know that what I can do could be smoother and could come more fluently. What class(es) should I consider taking to broaden my familiarity with this coding language?
Thanks in advance,
Kate

Hi @ksmielitz, SAS users who frequent the Certification Community (for users pursuing various forms of SAS certification) and Analytics U Community (where folks learning SAS hang out) might have some useful tips too. Consider posting those places too. Best of luck with your prelims!

Hi Beverly, saw your responds and please I need direction on how to get the free software to learn the SAS. I have my first degree in maths/statistics. I would like to put it into practice by knowing practically how to apply the SAS so I can secure a good job as an SAS analyst
As @Reeza mentioned, the links I posted earlier in this thread will get you started. Post a new question in the Analytics U Community if you need further help or advice: https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Analytics-U/bd-p/sas_analytics_u Glad to see you're on the road to learning SAS!
