SANS is so overpriced it's ridiculous. shyt ain't even worth it.
Immersive Labs training is head and shoulders better. They just don't have a cert.

I think very deeply
I'm not in the states but good find though.
Most of their curriculum is crap you'll never use on the job. But companies kill for those certs because of name recognition.

It's definitely worth taking. Having these 3 certs is a great look. shyt is competitive out here. This can get you in the door. Get in at a good salary get a year maybe even 2 of experience then leave for the highest bidder.

Can anybody get into this? I'm talking no IT background or computer science experience.
I haven't read about the offering but if it pays for the cert it's worth it. Those certs cost anywhere from $700 to $1,400 bucks a piece a few years ago.
But knowing those greedy fukks at SANS it won't.
There is usually no prerequisites for taking these courses. I've known people with barely any technical ability pass them.Can anybody get into this? I'm talking no IT background or computer science experience.
