<h2 class="mt-0 text-grey-alpha title-epsilon">We’ve exclusively partnered with SAS® to deliver a <a href="/apprenticeships/programmes/data-technology/data-analyst-level-4-sas">brand new apprenticeship</a>. Creating a
specialist pathway to provide SAS users with modern analytical and data visualisation skills.</h2>
<p>We spoke to David Hanby, Insight Manager here at Kaplan, to find out more about SAS and how it can benefit both businesses and individuals. Find out what he had to say… </p>
<p class="title-delta">So, what is SAS? </p>
<p>Originally, SAS stood for Statistical Analysis System but as they now develop more than just statistical software, SAS (pronounced "sass") is more of a brand than an acronym. I liked the acronym at first because I felt like
I could pretend I was part of the special air service.</p>
<p>You can use SAS for anything within the insights and analytics arena: database management, unstructured data, interrogate data, modelling, data interpretation. </p>
<p>There are different versions of SAS, some are easier to use than others. I currently use SAS Studio which is basically the base level version.</p>
<p>It’s its own software, and unlike other options, has its own language so doesn't rely on SQL.</p>
<p>SAS has a certain level of prestige surrounding it. </p>
<blockquote class="snippet">
<div class="blockquote__container">By aligning yourself to SAS, automatically you’re at the cutting edge of data analytics.</div>
</blockquote>
<p class="title-delta">Thoughts on SAS’s Data manipulation and efficiency</p>
<p>It’s a programme I log into and I do all my work from within that. You bring data into the programme and manipulate how you want to use it. Then you can output the data however you want, and in whichever format you want,
such as excel, word, powerpoint. </p>
<p>It’s really fast in terms of handling big data very quickly. You can clean up messy data really well and it has an amazing ability to talk to different platforms through API connectivity to enable live transactional data.
</p>
<p class="title-delta">The user experience</p>
<p>SAS language is continually evolving. For instance something you wrote a couple of years ago which took 15 lines of code can now be done with a new function or procedure.This constant improvement helps optimise the user
experience to make analytics easier.</p>
<p>The SAS community is also a great open forum. It’s there if you are struggling to do something. They provide a vast resource of advice and support through forums. </p>
<p class="title-delta">What do you use it for on a daily basis? </p>
<p>I use it to centralise all our different student data points to answer business questions. This could be based on student performance. For instance, when results are coming out, work will be required to compare those who
failed versus those who succeeded. </p>
<p>SAS enables me to review what they did on our platforms to get the results they ended up with. And it helps me analyse the data and come to conclusions. </p>
<p>Once we have the conclusions, we talk to our Learning & Curriculum team with recommendations as to how to further optimise the learning experience. It helps us create an idea of what an ‘engaged’ student looks like,
based on this data. </p>
<p>Essentially, SAS lets us get really detailed if needed, but then brings it back and informs a top level summary view of what the users need and helps us understand how to deliver this.</p>
<blockquote class="snippet">
<div class="blockquote__container">You know in the TV show 24, everyone wanted to be Jack Bauer, but I didn’t. I always thought the data nerd (Chloe) was the real hero.</div>
</blockquote>
<p class="title-delta">How does it benefit the business?</p>
<p>As a business, SAS enables us to make data driven decisions. We can create bespoke reports in a timely manner to put in front of the right person. Whether that be the learning or commercial side of things.</p>
<div class="quick-links__container float-none float-lg-left mb-6">

</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>In terms of our commercial reporting, we use it to give commercial managers a live view of which courses are selling well and which are at risk - by incorporating transactional data. It forms the basis of our marketing KPI
reports, in terms of student numbers, and allows us to create commercial targets throughout the year.</p>
<p>Its power is applicable to any business. I worked for Shopdirect for 10 years and used it then. You don’t forget your first experience of SAS.</p>
<p style="clear:left;">I was a report runner back then and didn’t know how to use it that much, so I had to play with it to learn how to use it. I used it to run and build web, affiliate and basic translation reports. The
first report I ever ran was a ‘daily offers report’. </p>
<p class="title-delta">How could training benefit personal development?</p>
<p>Although I never had formal training on SAS, I can see the value in it because if I did I would be able to understand what it’s doing on a foundation level. Understanding everything from the ground up, the ins and outs and
why you are doing it. You’d be less likely to make mistakes and make incorrect assumptions about how it’s manipulating the data. </p>
<p>Ultimately it would make you much more efficient.</p>
<p>It is a massive door opener being proficient in SAS. If the skill is on your CV, you have an advantage from an employability perspective. It shows that you can put the work in. It also shows that you are up to speed with
the latest in data analytics as SAS is always evolving and improving. </p>
<p>By aligning yourself to SAS, automatically you’re at the cutting edge of data analytics. SAS’s slogan used to be ‘the power to know’ and that couldn’t be more true.</p>
<p class="title-delta">Any final thoughts on SAS? </p>
<p>I can’t overstate how accommodating it is. If I'm working with IT then I can translate and tailor the data to their ways of working. If a team uses SQL as their language then I can write in that language within SAS which
makes the conversation much more fluid. So efficient. </p>

Data Analyst powered by SAS - the first apprenticeship of its kind DATA ANALYST POWERED BY SAS - THE FIRST APPRENTICESHIP OF ITS KIND 05 May 2022 SHARE * * * * WE’VE EXCLUSIVELY PARTNERED WITH SAS® TO DELIVER A BRAND NEW APPRENTICESHIP. CREATING A SPECIALIST PATHWAY TO PROVIDE SAS USERS WITH MODERN ANALYTICAL AND DATA VISUALISATION SKILLS. We spoke to David Hanby, Insight Manager here at Kaplan, to find out more about SAS and how it can benefit both businesses and individuals. Find out what he had to say… So, what is SAS? Originally, SAS stood for Statistical Analysis System but as they now develop more than just statistical software, SAS (pronounced "sass") is more of a brand than an acronym. I liked the acronym at first because I felt like I could pretend I was part of the special air service. You can use SAS for anything within the insights and analytics arena: database management, unstructured data, interrogate data, modelling, data interpretation. There are different versions of SAS, some are easier to use than others. I currently use SAS Studio which is basically the base level version. It’s its own software, and unlike other options, has its own language so doesn't rely on SQL. SAS has a certain level of prestige surrounding it. > By aligning yourself to SAS, automatically you’re at the cutting edge of data > analytics. Thoughts on SAS’s Data manipulation and efficiency It’s a programme I log into and I do all my work from within that. You bring data into the programme and manipulate how you want to use it. Then you can output the data however you want, and in whichever format you want, such as excel, word, powerpoint. It’s really fast in terms of handling big data very quickly. You can clean up messy data really well and it has an amazing ability to talk to different platforms through API connectivity to enable live transactional data. The user experience SAS language is continually evolving. For instance something you wrote a couple of years ago which took 15 lines of code can now be done with a new function or procedure.This constant improvement helps optimise the user experience to make analytics easier. The SAS community is also a great open forum. It’s there if you are struggling to do something. They provide a vast resource of advice and support through forums. What do you use it for on a daily basis? I use it to centralise all our different student data points to answer business questions. This could be based on student performance. For instance, when results are coming out, work will be required to compare those who failed versus those who succeeded. SAS enables me to review what they did on our platforms to get the results they ended up with. And it helps me analyse the data and come to conclusions. Once we have the conclusions, we talk to our Learning & Curriculum team with recommendations as to how to further optimise the learning experience. It helps us create an idea of what an ‘engaged’ student looks like, based on this data. Essentially, SAS lets us get really detailed if needed, but then brings it back and informs a top level summary view of what the users need and helps us understand how to deliver this. > You know in the TV show 24, everyone wanted to be Jack Bauer, but I didn’t. I > always thought the data nerd (Chloe) was the real hero. How does it benefit the business? As a business, SAS enables us to make data driven decisions. We can create bespoke reports in a timely manner to put in front of the right person. Whether that be the learning or commercial side of things. Top 4 biggest myths about studying Data Analytics In terms of our commercial reporting, we use it to give commercial managers a live view of which courses are selling well and which are at risk - by incorporating transactional data. It forms the basis of our marketing KPI reports, in terms of student numbers, and allows us to create commercial targets throughout the year. Its power is applicable to any business. I worked for Shopdirect for 10 years and used it then. You don’t forget your first experience of SAS. I was a report runner back then and didn’t know how to use it that much, so I had to play with it to learn how to use it. I used it to run and build web, affiliate and basic translation reports. The first report I ever ran was a ‘daily offers report’. How could training benefit personal development? Although I never had formal training on SAS, I can see the value in it because if I did I would be able to understand what it’s doing on a foundation level. Understanding everything from the ground up, the ins and outs and why you are doing it. You’d be less likely to make mistakes and make incorrect assumptions about how it’s manipulating the data. Ultimately it would make you much more efficient. It is a massive door opener being proficient in SAS. If the skill is on your CV, you have an advantage from an employability perspective. It shows that you can put the work in. It also shows that you are up to speed with the latest in data analytics as SAS is always evolving and improving. By aligning yourself to SAS, automatically you’re at the cutting edge of data analytics. SAS’s slogan used to be ‘the power to know’ and that couldn’t be more true. Any final thoughts on SAS? I can’t overstate how accommodating it is. If I'm working with IT then I can translate and tailor the data to their ways of working. If a team uses SQL as their language then I can write in that language within SAS which makes the conversation much more fluid. So efficient.
