Global Information Assurance Certification

SANS is hands down the best bang for the buck available, no one else even comes close!
-Derek Masseth, University of Arizona

Mentor is SANS' program for learning our courseware in ten-weekly classroom sessions right in your home town. Mentor gives you time to absorb and master the same material commonly taught at SANS six-day conferences, with the guidance of a trained network security professional.

Your mentor is highly qualified to help you learn and certify. SANS mentors are hand-selected from students that have completed their GIAC certification with scores of 85% or higher.

Mentor is your opportunity to participate in SANS training without the expense and inconvenience of travel or taking time out of the workday and the advantage of a small classroom setting. You also get the opportunity to network with other security professionals in your area. Sign up today!
