30 Day Trial extension

[LourensOWalters]

Hi all, 

I have completed the first of the 3 "AI and Machine Learning Professional" courses entitled: "Machine Learning Specialist" during the past month. Having been a longstanding user of SAS for Data Mining/ Predictive Modelling, Analysis and BI (14 years now - mainly Base SAS, STAT, CONNECT, SAS EBI, SAS EG etc.) but recently having changed jobs and now using Python, this course has been an incredible journey for me. I have really enjoyed working with the graphical user interface to Viya and the content was clearly explained by the lecturers. 

I still have approximately 50 hours left of my Lab time, but my 30 day trial expires tomorrow. I would however very much like to also complete the NLP and Forecasting modules in this series.   

Is there any way of extending the course duration to complete the remaining two modules?

Thank you very much for the incredible opportunity to familiarise ourselves with the latest SAS Software. 

Regards

Lourens Walters

Hi:

  Please go to your My Training page https://support.sas.com/edu/viewmyelearn.html   to verify the expiration date. We recently provided courtesy extensions due to the stay-at-home extending into May in most places.

Marvellous! The gift that keeps on giving! Thank you so much Cynthia, I checked my expiration date and it was extended as you mentioned. Christmas comes early. Thank you SAS, you truly have created a great product, I cannot wait to learn more about NLP and Vision with SAS, it will be a good month of May. 

Keep well.

Hi there, 

Can see an expiry date on my Sas Academy for DS, is that duration for all 3 courses (Curation-Advance Analytics- ML?), I've started  the Data Curation and close to completing it, but have not enrolled on either Advance Analytics or ML yet.  Just want to be sure I can finish at-least Advance Analytics later.

Hi:
The expiration for the free trial applies to all 3 levels -- each level is composed of multiple classes -- so the Data Curation Level has 4 classes; the Advanced Analytics Level has 9 classes; the AI&ML level has 5 classes. When you activated the free trial, you activated all 3 levels -- the enrollment buttons inside the top page allow you to navigate to each level separately to see the classes in that level. Whether you do the classes in one level or more than one level is entirely up to you.

The free trial is for all 3 levels -- there is not a separate "fresh" amount of time for each level. When the free trial is over, we will sell each level separately.

For Data Science potential certification candidates, everyone will need to pass the Data Curation exam. Then, to earn the Data Scientist certification credential, students take their choice of either the Advanced Analytics exams (there are 3) or the AI&ML exams (there are 3). So in total, a candidate for the Data Scientist certification will need to earn the Data Curation Credential and one of the other 2 credentials in order to be awarded the Data Scientist credential.
