Reviews and Customer Testimonials

“In today’s job market I knew that being SAS Certified would give me that extra competitive edge. Even though I had 13 years of experience and numerous reference documents at home, SAS Learning Edition and the SAS Self-Paced e-Learning online course and practice exam really helped me prepare for the exam. Not only did those materials help me brush up on old skills, they also taught me a lot of new ones!.”

“I was afraid that it would be too difficult for a student to master SAS programming in one class. SAS Learning Edition has made this possible. Since the product is so intuitive, I have been able to focus on the concepts without getting too bogged down in syntactical issues. SAS Learning Edition is flexible enough that the advanced students can get a real-world SAS class while the less technical students can still learn a lot about data analysis and statistics using SAS.”

Adjunct Instructor of Quantitative Methods and Data Management
Milano Graduate School, New School University

“SAS is regarded as the industry standard for statistical analyses in my field of Plant Ecology and Biology. With the introduction of SAS Learning Edition, I can set aside the task of teaching the SAS code and focus on the statistics within an icon-driven computing environment that is very familiar to students today. This user-friendly interface allows the students to actually pick up on how to write SAS code faster than if I tried to do everything using the SAS Program Editor.”

“Having left an analytical position to teach college full-time, I understand first-hand the importance of teaching skills with software applications such as SAS. The new release of SAS Learning Edition, with the accompanying book, provides the perfect tools to prepare individuals with the technical knowledge and ability they will need to compete for the best jobs in the business analytics marketplace.”

"For the short courses in Applied Statistics, SAS Learning Edition has become the standard tool for students. It is appreciated very much because of its ease of use, well-structured interface, and comprehensive features. SAS Learning Edition was one of the realizations of the 'SAS Academic Program,' an initiative that we are very thankful for. It brings a range of benefits to university staff and students. They can practice the basic and more advanced concepts in statistics without immediately digging into the SAS language."

"Let me say that it is a great piece of software indeed. SAS Learning Edition is so intuitive, well organized, and well documented that students can start producing professional-level statistics and charts in almost no time. I enjoy using your software and will be glad to recommend SAS Learning Edition to anybody who has the need for high-quality statistical processing."
	Zoran Cvijanovic Visiting Instructor of Computer Science Colgate University

"SAS Learning Edition is just superb. I will be recommending to my students that they purchase this software for several of my graduate courses in the future."
	Timothy Hanson, Ph.D. Assistant Professor of Statistics Dept. of Mathematics and Statistics University of New Mexico

"SAS Learning Edition is very user friendly, and it provides a self-learning environment for the new student/user with a point-and-click option that automatically generates SAS code. On the other hand more advanced users can go directly into the Enhanced Editor and write code. That possibility allows for the teaching of SAS software to those students who will use the full-blown version later in their careers."

"I just loved SAS Learning Edition. The ease of use, quality of results presentation, and the project orientation were the top draws for me."
	Elizabeth Ebacher, Ph.D. Applications Analyst OIT, Student Information Systems University of Massachusetts at Amherst

"As a previous SPSS user, one of the advantages of the "point-and-click" device in SAS Learning Edition is that it maximizes learning by taking advantage of a user's previous knowledge… SAS Learning Edition is also intuitive, easy-to-learn and time efficient. In a short period of time you can manage the program."
	L. Flavio Rojas, Ph.D. School of Public Health University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

"I never knew SAS could be this easy to use. Combining different data sources for the purpose of data manipulation and analysis was easier than I thought it would be, and the cost is very reasonable."
	Chris Blankenship Pharma Forecast Group

"After working with the SAS Learning Edition and SAS Self-Paced e-Learning products--and without any prior experience with the material--I was able to interview for and secure a position as a SAS Data Analyst. The training proved to be very valuable in providing a thorough and interesting foundation of SAS programming. The examples and guidelines were especially helpful. SAS Learning Edition and SAS Self-Paced e-Learning are wonderful training tools and I give them my wholehearted endorsement."
