Senior SAS Programmer & TutorFAQ
I have compiled the most frequently asked questions about the SAS for Data Science Program.
How long is the program?
The program is available in two formats.
The first lasts 5 business days. The live classes are between Monday and Friday 9am/est to about 12/noon.
The second format is Saturday-Sunday, from 9am to 5pm.
Are there any prerequisites?
No. We assume no prior knowledge in SAS. But understanding some programming language (Python, R) would make the program easier.
Are classes really live?
Yes. There is 3 or 7.5 hours of live teaching each day depending on the format you choose.
What is the price?
There are two price points depending on your goals and needs.
Are there discounts?
The only discount available is the early-bird special. We want to thank people who commit ahead of time.
Additional time for program completion?
Both plans have homework/assignment components but this should not take more than 30 minutes to 1 hour for each learning day.
The Career Plan has a mentor session and that will require 30-45 minutes of your time to meet a mentor. To give you flexibility, this appointment can be made within one month of the program. It does not have to be during the 5-day or 2-day program.
Additionally, the Career package has office hours during the evening of program days. These are not mandatory.
How can I register?
To register, simply pick the program plan you are interested in.
You also want to make sure that you first check when the next session is scheduled (see Upcoming Training).
Are there refunds?
There are no refunds.
Pleasure make sure you know all the details of the program and that you will be available for the duration of the program before registering.
How do I know on what date(s) the program/event happens?
Please look at the Upcoming Trainings menu option at the top right corner of the website.
There will only be one date for each program, so it will be easy to see when it is scheduled.
What's the difference between 'Skill' and 'Career' packages?
No matter the package you choose, you will have a SAS Project to add to your resume, 15 hours of instructor-led instruction, course materials, program files, and the recording of all sessions.
The 'Career' package increases the support we offer to program participants by:
- Getting access to office hours (led by the Tutor) to ask questions about the content covered during the live instruction.
- The option to choose a passion project in an area you are passionate about to complete with support of a tutor. This means that you will have a 2nd project to add to your resume.
- A session with our mentor to discuss and work on your resume, application, interview, and other career related guidance.
- Access to a special Discord server to stay in contact with MDC staff and other program participants.
