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.

Dimensions summary
This listing offers a single pricing dimension: the SANS Voucher, billed as a contract by unit. You buy vouchers in bulk through one procurement process rather than paying per person individually. Each voucher acts as a training fund your organization draws from. You apply vouchers to in-person or online courses, Summit events, certifications and renewals, degree and certificate programs, and security awareness training. A central account lets you allocate funds, track usage, and manage enrollment. Pricing scales with the number of voucher units you purchase, so larger commitments cover more training across your team.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
You can apply voucher funds to in-person or online courses, Summit events, GIAC certifications and renewals, degree and certificate programs, and security awareness training. Security awareness use needs extra documentation. Partnership programs and workshops hosted at other organizations' events are excluded.
Each voucher acts as a training fund held in a central account. An administrator approves and manages student enrollment, views fund usage and balance in real time, and tracks certification results and course progress. You draw down funds as team members register for training.
Pricing scales with the number of voucher units you buy. Buying more units covers more training across your team. To set up an account, you consult with the vendor about training goals and anticipated costs for a specific period, then purchase units accordingly.
