SANS: Mentor: Local Network and Computer Security Training

This is the real deal - no fluff!
-Nancy Rice, Capital Blue Cross

Mentor is SANS' program for learning our courseware in multi week 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!
