This is the SAS Certified Data Science Program in the SAS Academy for Data Science. In Level 1, SAS Certified Big Data Professional, students learn critical SAS programming skills and introductory statistics, and they also learn how to manage and manipulate data, explore data visually, and craft compelling stories with data. In addition, students learn how SAS works with Hadoop, and they learn about Hadoop data management with Hive, Pig, and SAS. Level 1 also teaches programming essentials with Hadoop and provides an introduction to in-memory statistics.
In Level 2, The SAS Certified Advanced Analytics Professional, students learn a variety of machine learning and predictive modeling techniques as well as how to apply the techniques to big distributed and in-memory data sets. Students also learn about experimentation in business, optimization, and time series forecasting. The coursework, hands-on practice, and projects help prepare students for the certification exam needed to become a SAS Certified Data Science Professional.
