XP from BOTB: IT/SAS people come in

I need some advice. Basically, I need to learn SAS. It costs a small fortune, as you probably know. I don't have the time or money to spead on a 3 day course, so I've been poking around online.
I found this: https://www.e-learningcenter.com/catalog.htm
$69 for a SAS on-line training. Have you ever heard of this site? Sound too good to be true? I know it's not a license, but it is the knowledge, which is what I am really after.
I don't know. Or would you spend the $179 for access to all of the courses for a year? Seems a bit too inexpensive to me.

Re: XP from BOTB: IT/SAS people come in
I use SAS for parts of my job and I learned the basics in a classroom setting (grad school course). For me, the in-person course was very useful -- I think that if you can get a good handle on the basic SAS programming language, then it's pretty easy to learn the rest of SAS through the many good books/web groups out there. However, I'm not an IT person, so for someone who does programming on a daily basis, the online courses my work just fine.
It looks similar to what I was taught in my intro class, offered internally by my employer.
So I think it looks fine. The thing about SAS is that there's a ton of info available online, in books, etc. If you're stuck trying to do something, you can just google for the code.
That said, I don't do heavy duty programming. I just use it now and then when I am creating my own data sets.
