SSAP — SANS Security Awareness Professional

IntermediateActive

SANS LDR433 (formerly MGT433). Old URL redirects here. Correction: the credential content page references SANS course LDR433, not MGT433 as listed in the catalog (SANS renumbered its Security Awareness/Leadership course line; MGT433 appears to be the old course code). Exam format confirmed: 50 questions, 2-hour time limit, 78% passing score. Renewal: $359 fee due within the 2-year validity window (or renew free by attending a SANS Summit within that window). Credential attempts are valid 120 days from activation; 45-day extensions cost $329.
