SANS Training Program for CISSP Certification 2018
I would love to buy these for prepping for the CISSP, but look at the price tag! $1,600 for 8 books??? Why so much?

Official class is $6,200: https://www.sans.org/registration/register.php?conferenceid=1032
For $1,600 I would just enroll in the local community college and take a few infosec and IT management courses. IMHO, not worth buying on ebay since you probably wont have any rights to errata, revision updates or online pdf/epub/mobi and are probably already obsolete.
- SANS courseware license states it can’t be sold. The people selling books on eBay certainly lack ethics and so does whoever buys them. Seems counterintuitive given that this is a big topic in security and especially the CISSP.
- As much as I love SANS I think it makes zero sense to take their CISSP class given the cost. What you will get out of the class or books for this particular cert can be obtained elesewhere for cheap or even free.
It’s the first time I am aware of SANS.
I am not going to do a boot camp or any other type of training. I saw one for Honolulu going for $3,750. Too much money. I passed all my other certs without training, so I am just going to pick up a cheap and legal copy of a book from Sybex, etc. and read it.

You know you can get Sec+ CEUs from their webinars?
