Has anyone used CramSession's GCIH Certification Study Guide?

[unsupported]

I just found CramSession's GCIH Certification Study Guide on Amazon for $7.50.  It appears to be a PDF document and I don't know what, if any use this may have.  Has anyone used it or a similar CramSession product?  Is this just a brain dump?  Any help would be appreciated as I attempt to tackle GCIH on a budget.

I'd recommend trying to become a facilitator. It is a cheaper option, you get excellent instruction, and you can get a cert attempt.

Been there, done that.  I was approved in Orlando, but did not follow-up because I did not get the course I wanted.  I was just told that I could have asked for the study material that I did want and they may have been able to accommodate me.

I will eventually come back to review this option after speaking with my manager to see if I can get approval for the $700 tuition, flight, and hotel.  It may just end up being cheaper for him to buy me the SANS self study.  From his perspective anyway, because he would have to pay me for the time I am in training in addition to the other costs.

Doesn't GIAC publish an objective bulletin for GCIH? May not be the easiest way, but you could certainly go from that and research each topic to create your own study guide. Just a thought anyway...

That is also what I will be working from, especially if I don't get my training.
