Community SANS....bringing SANS live training to your community!

The Community SANS format offers our most popular security courses in a small classroom setting in your own community - most courses have fewer than 25 students. The course material is delivered over a six-day period, just like it is at a larger SANS event, by instructors trained by SANS very best authors and instructors.

How will you benefit from Community SANS?

Value: Lower tuition costs and reduced travel costs.
Live training with hands-on bootcamp: Same courseware as SANS conferences, with Bootcamp hours to reinforce learning.
Your instructor: SANS Instructors are real world practitioners and have been trained by top SANS Faculty Fellows.
Networking: You will get to know your InfoSec peers and can collaborate long after the training.
Online tools: Access to free resources and audio files.
Smaller class sizes: You get more one-on-one time with your instructor so you can master course material.

Since I am fresh out of college this was a definite eye opener. This course was very valuable in that it gives a view of most tools available for auditing networks.
