SANS Certification,

["IRM" <irm () iinet net au>]

Hi all,

I have no idea whether it is just me only or people out there are also
finding difficult to understand SANS GIAC certification product. 
Basically I am thinking to take GCIA
(http://www.giac.org/reginfo/challenge.php), 

I was under impression that the only way to prepare the material is by
going to their conference? CMIIW I am not sure what does it mean by
challenge certification? Is it meaning "You can go for certification
without going to SANS Training"? 

I guess that the site is not clear enough, for instance it doesn't show
you the syllabus on what is tested, etc
(http://www.giac.org/certifications/security/gcia.php) or maybe I am
wrong here? 

Cheers,

John
