SAS Viya Course retire.

[dineshpatil972]

Hi, I am preparing for SAS Viya Intermediate Programming certification (A00-420) and wanted to start with two suggested courses 

1. Accelerating SAS Code on the SAS Viya Platform and
2. SAS Programming High Performance Data Processing with CASL in SAS Viya

But there is note for these both courses that both courses will retire on 27August2024.

• Is there will be new courses for preparation of this Certification?
• Is it beneficial to do these courses for A00-420 exam as they are expiring.
• Exam pattern for A00-420 will also change or remains same? 
• Which are newer versions of these both courses.

Please reply.

Only the older versions of the courses are retiring. The current versions of the course remain available with no plans to discontinue either course, but they will continue to be updated over time. The links to training from the certification page for this credential continue to provide access to current training (designated as Viya2023.12).
