SAS Certified Specialist: Natural Language Processing and Computer Vision Using SAS® Viya®

Licensing authority: SAS Institute Inc. · Application information

Initial by examination
SAS Viya Natural Language Processing and Computer Vision
Cancellation
Cancel or reschedule at least 24 hours before the appointment; no-show or late cancellation/rescheduling forfeits the full fee. Pay Pearson at registration.
Candidate Agreement
Accept the Candidate Agreement before testing and comply with independent-work, confidentiality and candidate-conduct obligations.
Credential Duration
The credential page states five-year certification expiry. This holder-relative duration is not a calendar version or credential validThrough date.
Date Applicability
The current specific credential page identifies A00-408 based on SAS Viya 4.0 and adopts the linked guide. No official calendar start or retirement date is stated for this version, credential or initial route; date boundaries remain null.
Qualification
Successfully complete A00-408 and comply with the SAS Candidate Agreement and corresponding trademark guidelines. The agreement reserves SAS certification discretion.
Retakes
At most five attempts in 12 months, separated by at least 14 days, with a fee per attempt. The current FAQ prohibits further attempts after passing with its stated expiring-credential exception after one year; renewal routes remain outside scope.
Scheduling
Use A00-408 in the SAS Certification Portal / Pearson VUE appointment system. The sources specify appointment scheduling, not a fixed sitting date; actual availability is determined by scheduling.
Scope
This is the individual NLP/computer-vision specialist credential, not a combined AI/ML or Data Scientist award. Training courses appear as preparation, not additional examination leaves. The current specific credential/pathway identifies A00-408 as its examination.
