This listing offers one pricing option: a single-user license for the Cloud - SEC502: Cloud Security Tactical Defense course. You buy access under a contract, priced per unit. Each unit covers one user. To train more people, you add more units, so cost scales with the number of licenses you need. There are no tiers or size variations to choose between. The pricing structure is straightforward: pick the number of individual licenses required for your team.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one single-user license cover for this course?
One license grants a single named individual access to the SEC502: Cloud Security Tactical Defense course. It is tied to one person and is not shared across a team. To train additional staff, you buy one license per person.
How long does my access to the course last after purchase?
SANS self-paced OnDemand courses provide a set access period, typically four months. Extensions may be requested if you cannot finish in that window. Confirm the exact access terms for this listing with the vendor before purchase.
How does cost scale as I add more people to the course?
Cost scales linearly with license count. Each unit is one single-user license, so buying two units covers two people. There are no volume tiers or size variations built into this listing; you simply add units for each individual you need to train.
