About this Subscription



The Advanced Analytics Professional program includes nine training courses. The paid learning subscription also includes 100 hours of cloud software access to practice and the ability to earn nine digital course badges in a 12-month license. You will 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. Experimentation in business, optimization, and time series forecasting is also addressed.

Learn how to:
  • Apply machine learning and predictive modeling techniques to big distributed and in-memory data sets.
  • Detect patterns in your data.
  • Set up and run business experiments.
  • Optimize your data.
  • Use time-series forecasting techniques.
  • Effectively communicate results and recommendations to executive-level management.


    • To enroll in the Advanced Analytics certification program, you need at least six months of programming experience in SAS or another programming language and at least six months of experience using mathematics or statistics (or both) in a business environment. A master's degree or higher in a quantitative or technical field is recommended but not required. We also recommend that you first complete the Statistics 1: Introduction to ANOVA, Regression, and Logistic Regression course, which is available as an instructor-led or free online e-learning course.
