SAS Training Packages

While these courses are designed primarily for educational purposes, top-performing students may be offered a paid internship, which can lead to a job opportunity at Gurus.

The SAS Base training program consists of 17 sessions in total for both group and individual formats. Out of these, 2 are practical sessions, 1 is a recap, and 1 is a knowledge check — with the remaining sessions focused on teaching core SAS concepts. After the knowledge check, 1 additional session will be conducted for discussion of general issues (if required or requested). The SAS Base + CDISC program includes 27 sessions for both group and individual options. This includes 17 sessions from SAS Base, the discussion of general issues, 1 practical session, 1 recap session, 1 exam, while the rest are dedicated to in-depth instruction on CDISC standards. Detailed schedules are shared upon enrollment, with a balanced approach to theory, hands-on practice, and learner support.

Each lesson runs for up to 1 hour and 45 minutes. Actual duration may vary slightly depending on class topics and student questions. We keep it flexible to ensure every question gets answered and every concept is clear.

Our group trainings are conducted offline, as we believe in the value of in-person learning. However, individual paid trainings may be arranged online, depending on your location and preferences.

Yes, you can enroll in the CDISC course if you already have a solid understanding of SAS and R, as CDISC datasets are implemented using these tools.

While it’s not mandatory, taking CDISC is highly recommended if you aim to build your career in the healthcare industry. It helps ensure your knowledge is well-rounded and makes you job-ready.

No prior experience is required to enroll in the SAS Base training — it's designed for beginners. However, if you wish to enroll in CDISC-only training and have a job opportunity, a foundational knowledge of SAS is essential.

The training is primarily conducted in Armenian, with key English terminology used throughout, especially for technical terms. For individual packages, we offer a choice between Armenian and English, depending on your preference.
