Community SANS: Partner Seats

SANS Training has never been more affordable for small groups!

Offering State, Municipal, Law Enforcement and Educational Institutions the opportunity for significant discounts to meet budget challenges

Partner Seats was developed after hearing from so many customers saying they are forced into lower quality training options due to low budgets while a SANS live training event was taking place right down the street. The program is designed to address this need by creating an opportunity for State, Municipal, Law Enforcement and EDU clients to register for a limited number of seats in existing Community SANS public events already taking place and to make these seats accessible to those facing extreme budget challenges.

These seats are intended only for those who do not have sufficient budget for regular SANS training options (seats are limited so we ask you to reserve them for your security colleagues facing budget challenges). By helping us find small groups within your state, you help us to continue bringing live training to your region, saving you time and money by not having to travel out of state.

Please note we must limit this offer to 5 seats available in each event at this special program pricing. Additional public seats will be available at our already low Community SANS tuition levels.

Who is Eligible to Host or Attend a SANS Partner Seats Class?

  • State and Local Government - Any US state or local government employees.
  • Law Enforcement - Law enforcement members at the state and local level.
  • Educational Institutions - Any faculty or staff from an accredited educational institution, including colleges, universities, technical training institutes, K-12 schools, or any institution with an .edu domain name.
