SAS certified data scientist

[Nietzsche]

Why is it when I search SAS certified data scientist in this SAS community board, nothing comes up? 

Is this a new certification title or just a esoteric certification that no one cares about?

From my understanding from this page, to become a SAS certified data scientist, you'll need to pass four exams? Either the Advanced analytics route or the AI/ML route?

Are there any SAS certified data scientists here? Is SAS even worth learning in the AI/ML domain given that it is dominated by Python and R?

The first thing to realise is while there are a lot of SAS users active on the SAS Community, there are way, way more actively using SAS around the world. Also I suspect that the SAS certified data scientist qualification is a relatively new one and that most SAS users with this will be busy with their careers and not active in the SAS Community. In my experience, those providing help in the SAS Community tend to have a LOT of years involvement in IT, are keen to share their knowledge and can help with the questions being asked. In their cases experience trumps certification.
