What SANS Students Are Saying

  • Slide 1 of 4
    This was my first SANS training and I'm impressed. Content was at the right level, good explanation, room for [the instructor] to add their examples, and enough time for questions.

    The labs from all SANS courses are always top notch. I have taken SANS training since 2007 and it has always maintained the highest level/standards, without question the best training content on the planet.

  • Slide 3 of 4
    What is great about the labs is that they are broken down so that they’re easy to follow, and they build upon the previous labs, which enforces things we learned/utilized in previous labs.
    Joseph Morales
  • Slide 4 of 4
    Learning via labs allows me to grasp the idea of how to manage different challenges without disengaging from the material. The short and challenging labs provided exercises that I can build on to apply in my environment.
