You know I've seen these things before, but I always wondered if these guys were reputable and not just a diploma mill sort of place. It seems that this might be the right kind of crowd to ask if these guys are worth the time. I mean... seriously, they offer a *class* on "ethical hacking"?<br>

Dear Jason Spence,<br>
<br>
Are you looking for live SANS training, taught by SANS top instructors<br>
with zero travel costs? Do you want to learn in an environment where<br>
you can chat live with your instructor and your class colleagues over<br>
several weeks?<br>
<br>
We are pleased to announce Security 508: Computer Forensics,<br>
Investigation, and Response will be delivered live over the web via SANS<br>
@Home. This live virtual training starts on Tuesday, July 14. Course<br>
author and SANS Fellow Rob Lee will teach his course once a week over<br>
12 weeks. For complete course details, schedule and tuition fees,<br>
please visit (<a href="http://www.sans.org/info/42458" target="_blank">http://www.sans.org/info/42458</a>).<br>
<br>
Register by July 10, 2009 and receive a GCFA certification attempt,<br>
which costs $499, at no cost. When registering, used the group discount<br>
code: GCFA<br>
<br>
SANS @Home leverages live Webcast flexibility and the latest online<br>
technology to enable you to interact live with top SANS instructors<br>
without the expense and inconvenience of travel or missing several days<br>
of work and time away from your family.<br>
<br>
Many students find the @Home format to better suited for learning this<br>
material because you get to digest the course material over an extended<br>
period and can apply what you are learning immediately at work after<br>
each session.<br>
<br>
Students also appreciate the direct one-on-one contact they have with<br>
the top SANS instructors who teach the SANS @Home courses. Here is what<br>
students are saying:<br>
<br>
"I have so many ideas to take back to the office. What a great learning<br>
experience. I have to admit I was skeptical about the learning<br>
platform, but it's been really great!"<br>
--Susanna Bezold, State of New York<br>
<br>
"SANS @Home works great! Webcasts work very well both live and in<br>
playback. Playback through Elluminate (presentation, audio, chat log<br>
and files download) made it easy to without loss of quality. I'll<br>
definitely look for more @Home courses."<br>
--Oyvind Horneland, NextGenTeAS<br>
<br>
