Introduction

SAS Software is widely used in clinical trial data analysis in pharmaceutical, biotech and clinical research companies. SAS programmers play an important role in clinical trial data analysis. In addition to doctors and clinicians who collect clinical trial data, the group conducting data analysis includes statisticians, clinical data managers (CDMs) and SAS programmers. Statisticians provide the ideas and methods of the data analysis; clinical data managers manage the collected data and control the data quality. In between, SAS programmers implement the analysis methods on the collected data and provide the study summary tables, data listing and graphs to the statisticians and for clinicians to write a study report.

This course contains SAS Basic (BSAS) Software learning modules (SAS Base, SAS Macros, SAS SQL) and SAS Advanced (SSAS) Software Learning modules (SAS Graphs and SAS Stat) as self-paced online program with exercise solution and email support and Clinical SAS Functional Course (CDOT) to learn about how SAS Software is used in Pharmaceutical and Clinical Research.

    Thanks to Q tech for helping me to get back to workforce within 2 months. The CDAR program task-based exercises, provided me insight of role performed in real-time allowing me to get started at job right away.

    – Priti Bhangale B – Brampton, ON

    This SAS CDAR training gave me a real-time job experience. The learning process was gradual, and the tasks were very interesting and very useful for gaining hands-on experience. I learned more when compared to my previous knowledge before starting this course. All the tasks and scenarios were different, and it was a very good learning experience.

    – Navya Y B – Vancouver , BC

    The Clinical Data Oriented SAS Program (CDAR) topics were very helpful to rate me. Chapters were organized better for easy readability. Very nice self paced SAS classes.
