Registration Information

Course Fees

Public course fees and length vary depending on the subject matter and type of course. View the course outline and schedule for details. Registration fees cover all course materials and computer time for lecture/workshop courses. Early registration is recommended because classes fill quickly. An early bird discount for 10% off standard course fees is available for most courses when you register and pay for the course at least four weeks in advance of the course start date. A group discount for 15% off standard course fees is also available for most courses for individuals from the same organization who register and pre-pay for the same public course together.

SAS is a tobacco-free company

Smoking or the use of smokeless tobacco products is prohibited in SAS buildings, in company or personal vehicles, or anywhere on the SAS World Headquarters campus.

Continuing Education Units

When you successfully complete SAS instructor-based training courses, you earn Continuing Education Units (CEU). The CEU, a nationally recognized unit of measurement for continuing education courses, is defined as "ten contact hours of participation in an organized continuing education experience under responsible sponsorship, capable direction, and qualified instruction." CEUs give you units of measurement for professional development that can be accumulated and documented. SAS awards 0.6 CEU units for each day of classroom training or 0.3 CEU units for each Live Web session; therefore, for each three-day SAS training course or 6-session Live Web course, you earn 1.8 CEUs.

Special Needs

If you have a disability requiring a reasonable accommodation, please send SAS a description (space is provided on the online registration form) of that accommodation along with your advance registration at least ten working days before the course begins.
