      What Students Say About Their SANS Training Experience

      I really enjoy the freedom of the OnDemand delivery. The material in some courses is challenging, but that's good. The SMEs are great and very responsive.
      Mark Devito
      I really enjoyed being able to view and review the video. The OnDemand classes are great. This course works very well with my schedule and allows me to learn at my own pace.
      Rob Strawley
      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.
      Deona Vastine
      - State of California
      I love OnDemand. My employer doesn't always have the funds available to send me to a live course and it has tons of material to digest, so being able to go at my own pace really helped.
