Authentic SAS Training Institutes

Guys,

I have browsed a lot of Institutes to have a decent training in SAS.
After many researches I found that most of them have bad reviews across the net.
Then I came across an institute named Epoch Research & Training Institute, based out at Ahmedabad.
They are giving training in all modules of SAS, and claim to have accredition from SAS India.
I could'nt found any negative reviews against them.

Now! The fact behind why I could'nt find any reviews against them is that, they wont allow any reviews to stay long in the net. They pay the websites to delete them.

Epoch SAS Training institute claims these followings:

1. The are recognised by SAS India - well, you just need to get trained, and get certified, dont fall for that claim.

2. They give the best in-house trainings - No, they dont give the best inhouse trainings, they doesnt even have proper trainers.

3. They have best facilities - Another joke.

4. They give job placements: The funniest among all of the claims. They have some placement guys who are themselves fresh passouts, without any industry contacts. They check the company web-pages and call up the HR departments to get some clue of any vacancies. The placement guys are themselves seeking to run away from Epoch!

5. They have some mock interview sessions conducted by them. It is mandatory for you to score good in those mock interviews in order to qualify for a 'Real-interview' (if you are lucky to come across).

6. The mock interviews are taken after youy have completed your certifications. If your certifications took 3 months, then be ready to give the mock interviews for another 2 months. I dont see any sense in it. Its just a way to make the process delay.

7. Further if you were given any bullshit chances with any company here you weren't eligible to or there weren't any vacancies at all, then they wont give you any more than 3 interview chances, after which you cannot say that you were not provided any placement opportunities.

8. They have no defined fee structure. They ask for your resume and offer you courses which may not be relevant to your profile. They are just interested in your money, not in your career.

9. Unfair fees: They charge different amount of fees from different candidates enrolled for the same course.

In short, they are not worth of the lakhs of rupees you are going to invest.
After the completion, you may have the certificates, but not the knowledge or any job opportunities, and you will be short of a good sum of money !!

Beaware before joining!

I have faced all these fraudulent claims and lost a lot of money, hence does not want another innocent student to be fooled of his money ever again!

    1. Why will someone want to go to the official website to find a review?
      They are a bunch of mercenaries. If you read ther documents careful, it not say we provide placements, it says we provide "placement assistance', thers a huge difference.
      Stop being a mug.

  2. this one of the worst institute, they will charge lakhs of rupees for courses,facalty not good, they show u the sky for placement and other things but never fulfill.
    in Bangalore their Branch office locate. where people more intersted in collecting money from students then giving the quality of service.

    if your planning for carrier in analytics/SAS , search for other institute this is not good one.

  5. If I say, all the above reviews are really in sake of creating and spreading bad impression, then I am not at all wrong. Lakhs of rupees are charged just because it if the largest SAS authorized training centre in India and provides official SAS training on SAS software. And by the way, if the candidate doesn't qualifies himself and tries to review and learn during practice sessions , this is not the mistake of the centre. It comes under the student policy too that should become sincere in training hours and sessions.

    Next comes ,placement assistance. So there is no need to explain the difference between the placement and placement assistance. It is strictly included that we provide 100% placement assistance. It is not included that 100% placement assurance. Afterall there are some innovative words like HARDWORK AND PERSISTENCE. We go for the best with our team and so should be the students. We have full clearance placement records and have placed various students in different MNCs. So what do yo mean by that???? Are they all fake records??? Guys be matured and have guts to face reality that you might be missing out somewhere so you might have not been placed. Ofcourse you might have been appeared in interviews. We can't sit along with you in interview sessions and help you out with answers. Our way is to lead to the interviewer doors.

    If you are really eligible, no one can take off from you. that's the point. Whatever we have said. we have done. Check over this link : http://www.epoch.co.in/testi.html

    1. Looks like another epoch mercenaries. You should be lucky we don't sue you for misleading candidates, and your so called "basic computer skills" are sufficient for the course. You lie to students with fake promises, and ASSISTANCE IS NOT PLACEMENTS. It has taken me 1 year to recuperate what i have invested in SAS. Shame on you and your loussy practices. Your day-to-day trainers have never worked on any real companies who use SAS. And in fact, my trainers was a previous student with EPOCH. DO NOT JOIN EPOCH SAS CENTER AND WASTE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY. these mercenaries will drink your blood. CAREFUL.

  6. This is a fraud institute in Bangalore. If you are not believe in my word then join see. I am explaining you my bad experience.I joined in July, took PG CSP , Before joining only I asked I want a job immediately after course completion. But I had a good trainer (he left oct13) , He trained Base and advance in three months. After October Epoch completely fell down. No proper class, No books, not conducting proper exams. This year April another
    trainer left. Around 100 books has to deliver to Bangalore, office, No proper trainer. If trainer he doesn't know the concept. Just reading what is in Slides. If you asking doubt no answer.

    CSP just 20 days course,but EPOCH took 8months. Still it is incomplete. I went and asked Manager, He is telling that CORPORATE TRAINING is more important than me. And also They took signature from me that any time they can send me out of institution .

    I paid 2.3 lac for this. Still I am jobless person. Another key thing I am telling you that if you want to join please record all the conversations . It will helps u a lot later. I is better than download software outside and read ebook,

    I shared my experience. I know SAS has wide scope but keep in mind that that's the reson Asha like epoch people are hunting bakaras . Think wisely ... If you have more money then join epoch to time pass. But some people took money from bank or relatives . then my suggestion is please do not join epoch.

    Study independently .......or other cheap training center........not EPOCH

  7. most of the things written here are true i mean if my final goal is to get American certification why should i waste so much money on the institute ...to be frank i went to epoch they offerred me a price of 1.9 lacs this was rediculous and i decided not to join the course . Finally i found a training institute in my own city with just Rs 20,000 as fees for a six months weekend course . so i can say that i saved 1.7 lac just because of my correct reasoning !!!

  18. Myself joined epoch paying 1.60 lakhs for Data Integration course which includes base, advance SAS,SAS sql and Di. I was told pre-placement will be there, which is 6 months internship and later if interested we could sign bond after the internship period.They promised to complete the course within 3 months.
    Whatever I have said above doesn't happen.I was cheated by them.No proper training scheduled.Classes got postponed frequently.Even if Tutor comes he knows nothing.He will be reading the book.Lab would be 100% waste as computer won't work properly.
    The course was dragged for 6 months.
    Coming to the last point, INTERNSHIP was also postponed. And finally they said we need to sign 2yrs bond first for the internship to start.
    They really made my life terrible.I feel like staying in dark.My parents won't allow me for bond n all.I don't know whether it's my destiny.

    Around 10 ppl in my batch was cheated like this.Im posting this comments with much hearty pain.
    Please don't join here.They always change according to their need.Only thing they want from you is your money.

    I could suggest they could do some other job than playing in others carrier.They are not at all good blood.
    The student counselors such as asha, Padmashree and admin person chitaji are really ridiculous.I don't how they could earn salary by frauding people.

    This Epoch research institute has made my personal and carrier life a big ZERO.
