What is the STAR program?
The GIAC Skills Test and Report (STAR) helps determine if an individual has the right knowledge, skills and abilities to accomplish specific IT security tasks. The STAR architecture is based on specific Assessment Objects that correspond to SANS training courses. After completing the Skills test, each student will have access to a printable report card, which clearly documents their performance in each sub-topic. For more information please see http://www.giac.org/star.
Starting in Q2 2008, Sales Reps and Sales Engineers participating in the Journey to the Top will be classified into different levels depending on the training activities they have accomplished. Each level will allow them to get one additional star. Revenue points will be tied directly to the number of stars a participant has.
