How do I train several team members under this pricing?
You purchase one single user unit for each person you want to enroll. Cost scales directly with the number of learners. There are no tiers or bulk configurations in this listing, so each additional person adds one more single user unit.
Is a GIAC certification exam attempt included in this license?
The listing covers a single user license for the course itself. A GIAC certification attempt is offered as a separate add-on, not bundled into this unit. For certification pricing details tied to this purchase, contact the vendor.
