What Students Say About Their SANS Live Online Training Experience

  • Slide 1 of 4
    I'm at home taking the online class but I feel like I'm there in the room. I don't feel isolated at all. I just have access to my comforts while taking the class.

  • Slide 2 of 4
    Everything from the instructor to the platform to the labs & materials were great. It all fit together and made this Live Online learning process go smooth. The online training platform & Slack worked great! I wouldn’t change a thing.
    Ron FouphtState of California
  • Slide 3 of 4
    I was a bit apprehensive of the online format for such a packed course, but it was really well-paced. Exercises, examples, Q/A were nicely disseminated throughout the day so that there weren't any "undigestible" sections, and linked topics were appropriately shown close together.
