Dimensions summary
This listing offers one pricing option: a single-user license for the SEC450 SOC Analyst Training course. You buy it as a contract, priced per unit. Each unit covers one individual learner. To train more people, you add more units, so cost scales directly with the number of users. There are no tiers or size-based options here. The price stays the same per user regardless of how many licenses you purchase.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
One license covers one named individual taking the SEC450 course. You buy one unit per learner. To train a team, add one unit for each additional person. There is no shared or seat-pooling option in this listing, so each learner needs their own license.
SANS self-paced OnDemand courses provide a 4-month access period per learner. You can request an extension if you cannot finish in that time. Access begins when you activate the course, and materials include hands-on labs and course content for the SEC450 training.
The listing prices a single-user license for the SEC450 course itself. It does not state that a GIAC certification exam attempt or live instructor sessions are bundled. Certification and other training formats are handled separately. Contact the vendor to confirm what is included for your specific enrollment.
