Certification Pathway
Changes to the SAS Certified Data Scientist Certification path were made on June 30, 2025
Earn both credentials to put yourself on a path to a data science career.
We offer two professional-level credentials to get you there. Earning one credential can launch a career - but a combination helps you earn a credential that could transform your future.
Advanced Programming
Learn advanced programming techniques, how to process data using Structured Query Language (SQL) and how to use the SAS macro facility.
AI & Machine Learning
Learn how to analytically approach business problems while using a business case study to understand the analytical life cycle. This credential is valuable on its own – or you can combine it with Data Curation or Advanced Programming for a data science certification.
