Congratulations to Cape Town »
 The World Cup being held in South Africa inspired the SAS Certification study group names for the 2010 SAS Professionals convention in Marlow, UK. The Cape Town team won the convention’s SAS Certification competition and had the highest individual test score at the event. One customer’s comment on the event says it all – “I commend Ian and Gemma’s unrivalled ability to relate with their audience. Well done guys; you’re simply the best!”
SAS Professionals convention certification study groups, led by SAS UK Education instructors, prepared for the testing event through a series of daily online quizzes, Live Web study sessions, online discussions, peer-to-peer collaboration and a face-to-face “cramming” session. Read more about the convention through these blog posts.
