Re: Help Convincing Employer to Pay for SANS Training

[Michael Allen <sector876 () gmail com>]

Not sure of your situation. However what worked for me was volunteering to
cover a part of the cost. The training budget got cut. I really wanted to
do the course and so I made them an offer, It worked for me.
Regards,
Michael
