Dimensions summary
This listing offers one pricing dimension: a single-user license for the SEC497: Practical Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) course. You buy access for one learner under a contract model. Pricing does not scale by usage, instance size, or add-ons. Each license covers one individual. To train several people, you purchase multiple single-user licenses.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
One license grants a single named learner access to the SEC497: Practical Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) course. It covers one individual, not a team or shared account. You cannot split one license across multiple people. To train more staff, buy one license per learner.
The listing bills one flat single-user license regardless of how you consume the course. SANS delivers courses through self-paced OnDemand, Live Online, and In-Person formats. The single-user contract price does not scale by format, hours studied, or labs completed.
This listing sells per individual, so you purchase one single-user license for each learner. Cost scales by count of learners, not by usage. SANS separately runs a group purchasing program for teams, but this Marketplace listing prices only the single-user license.
