The New SANS Live Training Experience

Have you taken a SANS Live Training course lately? If it’s been a while, you’re in for a treat!

February 22, 2022

Have you taken a SANS Live Training course lately? The entire In-Person and Live Online training experience has been reimagined to meet your flexible training needs. There’s no better time to continue your SANS cyber security education journey. See for yourself!

5 Reasons to Attend SANS Cyber Security Training Live

1. New & Improved Training Experience

    Our Live Online and In-Person training options have never felt more alike. 

    It's likely you're familiar with SANS' In-Person training options. We've improved the Live Online experience to meet those same expectations. Train online in a live environment and you'll have real-time access to your instructor, classmates, and TAs through Zoom and Slack. Never miss a beat with the latest classroom technology including a tracking camera that follows your instructor as they move about the room.

    You'll feel like you're in the classroom.

    Access your materials the way you choose. We've made course materials digital! With your course registration, you will receive PDF versions of courseware and handouts, digital access to media/ISO files, all in addition to a physical set of books.

    Registered for In-Person and well, life happens? When it happens while you’re attending an In-Person class, we can help you adjust your plans to attend Live Online as needed.

    2. Real-time Access to Expert Instructors and GIAC Certified TAs

        Real-time conversations: your class instructor and TAs are chatting in your class Slack group right along with you and your classmates. Ask questions or resolve issues as they arise instead of waiting for an email response.

        3. Live Chat During Lessons with Other Students

          Enjoy a shared training experience by getting to know your classmates and learning from them on Slack - in either live training format. You never know who you might get to meet!

          Sneak Peek of existing SANS Slack Channels:  

          • Business Card Swap - Share your LinkedIn or Twitter profiles with others to build your network or chat about a security topic that interests you. 
          • CTF Coin Showoff - Share pics of your hard-earned hardware!

          4. Networking In-Between Classes

            One of the most beneficial reasons to attend an In-Person SANS training event is the chance to network with other professionals. Discuss class concepts, get help with a current work problem, or make new friends onsite at the Welcome Reception.

            SANS is dedicated to providing you with this opportunity whether you train Live Online or In-Person!

            5. Live Training Extras - Keynote Speakers, NetWars Tournaments, Night Talks & More

              If you’ve taken a SANS Live course before, our new and improved experience still includes the same perks you’re used to. But now, you can enjoy them in either live training format! Get the latest tips and tricks to combat today’s cyber threats from your expert instructors during Keynote presentations and night talks.

              Practice stopping the newest threats during an online or In-Person NetWars Tournament.
