Get in-depth SAS knowledge from academic experts
At our SAS Belux Forum last year, we strengthened the partnership with Académie de Louvain. The program took a quick start. Now, nearly 30 students are intensively trained in SAS programming. Half of them already obtained SAS certification, the other half will pass the examination now, during the June examination period. In addition, Institut de Statistique at U.C.L. organized short courses on JMP for visual data discovery, JMP for design of experiments and mixed model. These courses are open to a broad public. A great opportunity to acquire in-depth SAS knowledge from academic experts!
For more information on the partnership and the upcoming classes, contact the SAS Academic Program Manager
