Dimensions summary
This listing offers one pricing dimension: a single user license for the SEC275 Foundations course. You buy access on a per-user basis, so pricing scales by the number of individual licenses you purchase. Each license covers one person's self-paced training, which includes 38 hours of course content and 90 hands-on labs leading toward the GIAC Foundational Cybersecurity Technologies certification path. There are no separate tiers or usage add-ons in this listing. To cover more people, you add more single user licenses. Billing follows a contract model for the quantity you select.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
One license covers one person's self-paced access to the SEC275 Foundations course. That includes 38 hours of content and 90 hands-on labs. Each named individual needs their own license. You cannot share a single license across multiple people or rotate it between team members.
Cost scales linearly by license count. Each additional person requires one more single user license, and the per-license price applies to every unit you buy. There are no tiers or volume steps in this listing, so training 10 people means purchasing 10 single user licenses.
The listing covers the self-paced SEC275 course leading toward the GIAC Foundational Cybersecurity Technologies certification path. A certification exam attempt is a separate add-on, not part of this course license. To confirm what your specific purchase includes, contact the vendor.
