What Our Students Say

Best experience I've had! The GoToTraining platform worked fantastically and was easy to see and use. Slack use was a winner -- it allowed the group to communicate together and do so without interrupting the presentations - Jay T, US Military | SEC504 Live Online

SANS Live Online continues to prove to be an excellent platform that is immersive, stable, and available to bring top-notch training to wherever you are in the world! – Chris G, FOR498 Live Online Student

Live Online is a lot more interactive than I thought it would be. It doesn't feel as remote as I though
