New to Data Analytics field. What to do after SAS Base certification?

[goel_shubham]

Hello,

I am pursuing my masters degree in Information System and aspiring a career in data analytics field. I have a background in programming including Mainframes, Java and SQL. I am interested in learning SAS, Business Intelligence, data mining and then may be Big Data if things goes on the right track. In Data world, I started with SAS base programming. I will be writing SAS base programming certification within next two weeks.

Question

Now I want to know what shall I start after SAS base? Should it be SAS advance programming or SAS Certified Predictive Modeler Using SAS Enterprise Miner 7

or anything else.

Question

I am using SAS Enterprise guide On Demand software for students. As far as I know, I would need SAS Enterprise Miner software to learn SAS data mining. So how to arrange this software?

Thanks in advance,

The future SAS expert
