Enterprise Training Agreement

The Program

SAS offers customers the opportunity to pre-purchase blocks of education and take advantage of discounted prices. Enterprise Training Agreements (ETA) are ideal for organisations which require ongoing SAS education and prefer to budget in advance. The cost of education purchased through ETAs is significantly reduced and the discount is locked in for twelve months.

ETA’s can be used for the following education services:

• Public courses
• Group courses
• Business Knowledge Series courses
• SAS Learning Edition software licence fees
• SAS Self-Paced e-Learning products
• Books
• Special offers
• and selected training packages

The ETA discount structure is based on the number of ETA credits being purchased. The larger the credits pre-purchased, the larger the discount. Once purchased, the training credits valued at $10 each, can be applied to any of the above training services.

For example: For a 3 day public course, the RRP is $2,700. Therefore you will need 270 credits for this course. For an e-learning lesson where the RRP is $450, the credits required would be 45.

ETA credits are valid for 12 months from the date the signed agreement is received by SAS. The following table shows the standard rates for Enterprise Training Agreements.

Benefits

The ETA gives you the best possible price for bulk training purchase through:

• Certainty around costs.
• More training for your money. The ETA offers gives you up to 22.5% extra spending power, allowing your organisation to either train more people for the same cost or reduces the total cost of SAS training.
• Reduces the amount of administration required by your organisation. Pay one invoice and take up training as and when required.
• Offers ongoing reporting of the usage of the ETA to assist in planning SAS training.

Pricing

The ETA is priced with a discount structure relating to the total number of ETA credits being purchased and must be taken up before the end of 12 months. The following table shows the standard rates for Enterprise Training Agreements. Each credit is valued at $10.

Note: These prices are exclusive of GST.
