Pricing is based on the duration and terms of your contract with the vendor. This entitles you to a specified quantity of use for the contract duration. If you choose not to renew or replace your contract before it ends, access to these entitlements will expire.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
This listing has one pricing dimension: a single-user license billed as a contract. You buy access per person, priced by the number of units you select. Each unit covers one individual's enrollment in the SEC540 course. Pricing scales directly with the number of licenses you purchase. There are no separate tiers, instance sizes, or usage add-ons in this listing. To train more people, you add more single-user units.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one single-user unit actually cover in this course?
One unit is a license for a single person to take the SEC540 course. It covers that individual's enrollment, hands-on labs, and course materials. To train more people, you buy one unit per person. Licenses are tied to named individuals and are not shared across a team.
Does buying a unit include a certification exam attempt?
No. The single-user license covers course enrollment and its 19 hands-on labs. The associated GIAC Cloud Security Automation (GCSA) certification attempt is a separate add-on. You choose whether to add a certification attempt when you register; it is not bundled into the unit price.
Can one person share their unit or reuse it after finishing the course?
No. Each unit grants access for one individual. Course material cannot be shared with others. Self-paced OnDemand access runs for a set 4-month period per license, so a unit covers one person's enrollment window rather than ongoing or transferable access.
