I will be there, I registered to help a junior analyst we just got on our team. This course is always fun!

Have you tried the BHIS Antisyphon Cyber Range? That might be worth the price of admission alone.

This course is very good.. I attended it last year.  It is SANS quality as John Strands was the lead instructor for GCIH at dirt cheap price.  Even at full price (495$) it is a bargain.

BHIS is probably my new favorite live training partner. Great content, great delivery from the instructor.  Price can't be beaten. And I like the 4 days, 4h per day schedule.

Is each day of the course only 4-hours of instruction or is there also extra time required to do labs and such each day? I signed up for the course and am trying to determine if I need to take a half-day or whole day off from work for each day of the course.

I kind of remember a straight 4 hour run, with 10-15 minute breaks at the top of the hour. Coming back from break the instructor would do the lab with us and we follow along. Its 4 hour sessions so they try to cover as much within that session. Everyone is in discord and some people will have questions or get stuck from time to time. I am certain the instructor[s] do their best to answer questions or help students out during lab time. People stay in the discord chat doing the labs after the 4 hr session is over too while the instructors hang around for a while.

@chrisone said.  IMO, schedule only a half-day off for it and if needed you can schedule a bit of time at night to make it worthwhile. It's great content at SANS quality.. but it is not the SANS firehose
