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.

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.

online registration form) of that accommodation along with your advance registration at least ten working days before the
