Certificate

Certification is always a hot topic on our social media channels. A popular, ongoing discussion in our LinkedIn group focuses on advice for candidates preparing for the SAS Certified Base Programmer exam. Here's a summary of the top recommendations to help you prepare for the exam.
Review the exam content. Focus your studying on the sections you are least familiar with.
Master the sample questions and practice exam. For the answers you get wrong, make sure you go back and fully understand why.
Use the SAS Certification Prep Guide to lead your studies.
Learning SAS by example: A Programmers Guide is also a highly recommended book among credential holders to help you prepare.
Be confident. Improve your knowledge with training, reading, experience or a combination of all three until you feel confident enough to take the exam. (SAS Programming 1: Essentials and SAS Programming 2: Data Manipulation Techniques are the recommended training courses).
Practice makes perfect. The amount of time you need to prepare greatly depends upon how much you use SAS on a regular basis. More SAS experience = less exam preparation time.

Hello,
You should not get too fascinated with ethical hacker as they show in movies. Most of the institutes provide just a basic fancy certification course under the name of ethical hacking, just to attract students and earn more.
I would rather recommend you to go for security specialist professionals. These jobs are highly payable and in high demand as most companies need them to protect their own data.
You can go to some reputed computer training institutes like NIIT, etc. You can go for Java courses followed by networking courses and CCNA/ CCNB (CISCO) courses. After this, you can also option for CEH (Certified Ethical Hacker) certification courses, if you wish to.
You need to ensure that you pursue these courses alongside a degree course, BCA, B.Tech, B.Sc, etc. for better outcome.
Further, in no circumstances can this profession be served as on a self-employment basis. Pursuing this profession needs grants and license from the government, which is not given to individuals and are only provided to a few companies who satisfy certain prerequisites.
I hope this answers your question.

Hi,
In Data warehousing and Analytics, lack of standard certifications have made it very hard for recruiters to identify "A" league professionals from impostors. When the topic of certification comes, there are basically two questions, why to get certified and how and what to get certified. I would first answer what and then answer why.
Irrespective of technology, The Data Warehousing Institute (TDWI) has been a provider of Certified Business Intelligence Professional (CBIP) certification where professionals can choose their core skills and appear for the exam that suits the same. The flip side that professionals see to it is that it's not associated with any product in specific and just theory can be good at Architect profile but at career levels where professionals need to implement solutions this might not be able to impress recruiters with this certifications.
Being a Microsoft patron, I would discuss about certifications related to MS BI. Microsoft has recently introduced two certifications for Data Warehousing and Business Intelligence.
All the best.
