Overview
A SANS Voucher is a prepaid credit for cybersecurity training from the SANS Institute, allowing organizations to buy training in bulk for their employees, manage funds centrally via an online tool, and track progress for courses, GIAC certifications, events, or degrees, functioning like a flexible internal "gift card" for professional development in cybersecurity skills. Key Features of SANS Vouchers: Bulk Purchasing: Organizations buy vouchers in advance, simplifying procurement and often getting better pricing. Centralized Management: Use the SANS Admin Tool to manage funds, assign training, and monitor employee progress. Flexibility: Vouchers can be used for various SANS offerings, including live/OnDemand courses, summits, GIAC exams, and SANS Technology Institute programs. Broad Applicability: Covers a wide range of cybersecurity topics, helping teams stay current with threats. Control: Provides a single pane of glass for tracking and maximizing training investments. How it Works: Open an Account: An organization consults with SANS to set up a Voucher Account for a specific period. Purchase Vouchers: Buy vouchers for training needs (minimums may apply for discounts). Assign & Track: Administrators assign vouchers to staff for courses or certifications, monitoring usage and results. Redeem: Employees use the voucher for their chosen SANS training, from short courses to full degree programs.
Highlights
- Bulk Purchasing Efficiency: Organizations can purchase training funds in bulk with a single procurement process, eliminating the need for individual employee reimbursements or multiple transactions for different courses. Significant Cost Savings: Purchasing vouchers, particularly during specific "buy windows" or through special programs (like the CIS CyberMarket program), can offer substantial discounts (sometimes over 50%) on courses and bundled GIAC certification attempts.
- Centralized Administration and Monitoring: A dedicated online tool (the SANS Admin Tool) allows administrators to efficiently manage all training funds, assign courses, track student progress, monitor test scores, and measure the return on investment. Flexibility in Use: Vouchers are often flexible, allowing any staff member within the organization to use them for any course in the SANS catalog, up to a year from the purchase date.
- Access to High-Quality Training: SANS courses and certifications are globally recognized as industry standards, developed and taught by top cybersecurity practitioners. This ensures employees receive top-tier, up-to-date knowledge and practical skills. Bundled Certification Opportunities: Vouchers can often be bundled with GIAC certification attempts at a discounted rate, which may also include free practice exams, adding more value to the purchase.
