Their real-world experience increases the practical value of the course material.
Here's what past SANS attendees said about the value of SANS training:

"This is valuable for anyone starting a career in information security. SANS 401 focuses on key fundamentals that relate to any job." - Omar Haq, The Boeing Company

"This is probably the most valuable course I've taken to expand my knowledge and perspective in this field (SEC504)." - Joe Compton, Apple

"With the mad rush towards mobile device adoption at the point of sale and industry regulations and laws struggling to keep up, thank goodness SANS with SEC575 helps companies maintain secure operations." - Dean Altman, Discount Tire

"MGT414 is an excellent introduction in how to speak to higher management." - Gregory Fellin, UC Merced
