Purchase Orders (US & CANADIAN FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ONLY):
You must register before submitting your PO to ensure accurate processing.
The SANS Institute expects payment in advance for all courses. The only exception is made for federal government employees, who must submit a copy of a DD form 1556 or other federal form in advance of training.
We do not accept state, provincial, corporate, or university purchase orders. You may use one of these purchase orders to obtain funding for the course, but do not send us a copy.
Be sure that your organization can process your purchase order in time to send payment to the SANS Institute before the training begins. You may bring a check or credit card with you and pay at the door if necessary.
