🎓 Analytics & Reporting (SAS & CDISC) Certification Programs

Offered by Qtech-Sol Professional Development Center

🔹 Introduction

Analytics & Reporting powers evidence generation in clinical development—turning raw clinical data into submission-ready outputs and insights for sponsors, regulators, and patients. Roles range from SAS programmer to lead statistical programmer responsible for traceability from SDTM → ADaM → TLGs, while ensuring standards (CDISC) and inspection readiness.

Qtech-Sol’s pathway spans essentials to advanced: learn SAS programming, CDISC mapping, analysis dataset build, and production of tables, listings, and graphs, with strong emphasis on Good Programming Practices (GPP), documentation, validation/QC, and delivery bundles aligned to reviewer expectations.
