Education
Why limit your potential with an under-trained staff?
Whether you need specific product training on one of our applications or a simple
brush up on the essentials of business intelligence, we offer courses that keep
you productive. Element’s education programs enable you and your business partners
to acquire relevant knowledge, skills, and more confidence to succeed.
Count on our Consulting Services team to provide a quality custom training experience.
Our curriculum can be customized to suit your needs. We can begin with fundamental
skills courses for those just introduced to our technology; and we can evolve toward
or begin with intermediate and advanced-level courses for more experienced users.
SAS Programming Courses
SAS Fundamentals
This course is our Essential Introduction to the SAS System. The course covers all
you need to know to get started with SAS quickly and easily. After the course, attendees
will be able to use SAS software to read their data, access, manage and manipulate
their data, solve problems, save programs and datasets, use conditional logic, combine
files, produce tables and listings of data, and use data analysis techniques.
SAS Enterprise Guide
This course is an introduction to Enterprise Guide Software, a point and click interface
to the SAS System. After the course, attendees will be able to use Enterprise Guide
to create projects, access, manage and manipulate their data, construct queries,
run tasks, create and customise graphs and produce process flow diagrams. This course
is designed to be used in conjunction with SAS Enterprise Guide 4.1.
SAS Programming
After the course, attendees will have a thorough knowledge of the internals of the
SAS System, be able to write advanced data steps, combine and transpose SAS files
and deal with many kinds of data manipulation problems, as well as being able to
write more efficient programs.
Applying Statistics Using the SAS System
Attendees will be taught how to apply various statistical methods for both continuous
and categorical data with the SAS System, using procedures from Base SAS, SAS/GRAPH
and SAS/STAT. After two days attendees will be able to explore raw data both descriptively
and graphically, applying the appropriate hypothesis test and diagnose the validity
of the statistical test applied. Attendees will be taught how to interpret the output
from SAS procedures and store the information via the output delivery system for
subsequent reporting. Furthermore attendees will be taught how to perform random
sampling of data, control the numerical precision of input data and will understand
the techniques for random number generating with the SAS System.
Report Writing with Proc Report in the Pharmaceutical Industry
After this course attendees will be able to apply the Proc Report procedure to create
listings and tabulations from SAS data sets, whilst taking extensive control over
the layout and appearance of their reports, whether in the traditional output window,
Microsoft Word document or in web pages. Attendees will also gain an understanding
of the different methods of defining and ordering columns of data, adding summary
statistics and adding customised information to their reports.
Using SAS/Graph Software in the Pharmaceutical Industry
After two days attendees will understand the methods of generating high quality
data visualisations with the SAS System through numerous examples of common pharmaceutical
graphics
Fundamental Report Writing with SAS
After this two day course attendees will be able to use Proc REPORT, Proc TABULATE
and the Output Delivery System to create professionally presented reports. Delegates
will understand how to create reports for Internet Browsers, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft
Word and Portable Document Format files in addition to the traditional SAS listing
files.
Advanced Reporting with SAS
After this two day course attendees will be able to use advanced features of Proc
REPORT and Proc TABULATE to create professional reports.
Attendees will understand how to control advanced features of the Output Delivery
System to manage both overall and in-line formatting of outputs, manage global appearance
of outputs for Internet Browsers, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word and Portable Document
Formats.
SAS Enterprise Guide for Business Analysts
This course is designed to provide a business insight to using Enterprise Guide.
At the end of this course attendees will be able to build queries from single and
multiple data sources. Attendees will be able to summarise data to present insightful
information both in tabular and graphical format.
Business Statistics for SAS - Part 1
After the course, attendees will be able to apply various statistical methods for
both continuous and discrete data, to interpret the output from SAS procedures and
to store information via the output delivery system for subsequent reporting. The
course will cover both descriptive and graphical data exploration techniques, hypothesis
testing, sampling methods and the comparison of two groups of data. The course uses
procedures from Base SAS software, SAS/STAT software and SAS/GRAPH software.
Business Statistics for SAS - Part 2
After the course, attendees will have a thorough knowledge of the main SAS statistical
procedures for both discrete and continuous data and also of the interpretation
of their output. The course will cover correlation of data, analysis of variance
and regression techniques, both linear and logistic. The course uses procedures
from Base SAS software, SAS/STAT software and SAS/GRAPH software.
Business Statistics for SAS Enterprise Guide - Part 1
After the course, attendees will be able to apply various statistical methods for
both continuous and discrete data, to interpret the output from Enterprise Guide
tasks and to store information via the output delivery system for subsequent reporting.
The course will use statistical and graphical tasks to cover both descriptive and
graphical data exploration techniques, hypothesis testing, sampling methods and
the comparison of two groups of data.
Business Statistics for SAS Enterprise Guide - Part 2
After the course, attendees will have a thorough knowledge of the main SAS Enterprise
Guide statistical tasks for both discrete and continuous data and also of the interpretation
of their output. The course will use statistical and graphical tasks to cover correlation
of data, analysis of variance and regression techniques; both linear and logistic.
SAS Macro
This course covers the SAS Macro Language in depth. The theory and methods of the
Macro facility are discussed through examples and applications. You will be able
to write your own Macros, understand the structure of the SAS Macro Language and
deal with the various functions available in the Macro Language.
SAS SQL
This course covers Proc SQL in detail, concentrating on the use of SQL for existing
SAS Programmers. Traditional SAS Data steps and Proc steps are compared with using
Proc SQL and efficiency issues are discussed.
SAS System Courses
Integrating Java and SAS
In this course, we focus on guiding the programmer who has some knowledge of both
SAS and JavaTM through the complex deployment steps necessary to build a working
web application. We review the execution models for standard and enterprise JavaTM,
covering virtual machines, application servers, and the various archive files used
in packaging JavaTM code for deployment. We also survey the mechanisms available
for using SAS services from JavaTM language and provide helpful tips for installing
these services. We offer a detailed example to illustrate how a working application
is created using the AppDev Studio development environment.
How to Manage a SAS Production Environment
If you are responsible for your company’s SAS application, you have, no doubt, encountered
many benefits and risks associated with managing and maintaining this critical resource.
This course demonstrates how to incorporate industry-standard testing and deployment
strategies to migrate your code from a development environment to a production environment-one
that includes a JavaTM application server and SAS compute and data services (also
referred to as the Analytic/ Data Tier).
We show you how to apply concepts of software engineering and built-in alerts to
reduce development and maintenance risks. Our discussion on alerts includes use
of a practical design to monitor the conditions that SAS programmers frequently
encounter. We explore the concepts of automated tests through assertions, events
and their attributes, event status management, and automatic notification of events
to interested parties. These concepts are presented from the perspective of the
SAS programmer and the system analyst.
Java Courses
