the most trusted source for computer security training, certification and research

Community SANS

The Community SANS format offers the most popular SANS courses in your local community in a small classroom setting — most courses have fewer than 25 students. The instructors are pulled from the best of our SANS Mentor program and trained by SANS top-rated instructors like Eric Cole and Ed Skoudis. The course material is delivered over a six day period, just like it is at a larger SANS event. You receive all the same content, audio files, and other materials. AND we provide continental breakfast each day and a light lunch on 3 of the 6 days to encourage networking among students and faculty.

Community SANS benefits include:

  • Brings SANS directly to your local community (so you can go home at night)
  • Smaller class sizes (typically less than 25 students)
  • Full set of books and access to audio files
  • Discounted cost
  • Led by the top SANS Mentor Program instructors trained by Senior SANS instructors
  • Opportunity to network with like-minded students from your local community
