This listing offers one pricing option: a single-user license for the FOR498: Digital Acquisition & Rapid Triage course. You buy it as a contract, priced per unit. Each unit covers one individual learner. To train more people, you add more units. There are no tiers or size classes to choose between. The license is meant for one person's individual use and is not shared across a team. Course access, materials, and support come bundled with that single license.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one single-user license actually cover, and can I share it with teammates?
One license covers one named individual. The course materials, test questions, and courseware are for your personal use only. You cannot share, sell, or use them to teach others without written permission from SANS. To train more people, buy one license per learner.
How long does my access last after I buy the license, and when does the clock start?
OnDemand access lasts 120 days. Your access begins when you click the Start Course button on the OnDemand Course Library page. If you do not click it, access starts automatically 14 days after the course becomes available. You get access within 72 business hours after payment processes.
What is included with the license, and is a certification exam part of it?
The license includes course video, materials, hands-on labs, quizzes, and subject matter expert support. A GIAC certification exam is not required or automatically included. You can add a certification exam attempt separately during registration or later through your account dashboard.
