Group Training

Got a group within your own organization? Community SANS offers many flexible options for your groups ranging in size from 3 to 30. Your organization can host or we can utilize a nearby location. In some cases your group may be able to host your own private class with 15 or more students. If you have less than 15 we open the remaining seats to others in your local community which also serves to enrich the networking opportunities so many SANS attendees value at our live training events.
