Become a Microsoft Identity and Access Administrator

Identity is the control plane for everything in Microsoft Security. The SC-300 validates that you can configure and manage Microsoft Entra ID at an enterprise level — authentication methods, Conditional Access, Privileged Identity Management, identity governance, and application integration. This course covers every exam objective with hands-on portal demonstrations.

You will start with tenant configuration and user management, then move into authentication — configuring MFA, passwordless methods, and authentication strength policies. Conditional Access is where it gets real: you will build policies that enforce device compliance, restrict risky sign-ins, and require step-up authentication for sensitive applications. The governance section covers PIM activation workflows, access reviews, and entitlement management.

This is a 12-hour course because identity configuration has real depth. Every misconfigured Conditional Access policy is a potential breach, and every missing access review is a compliance gap. The course teaches you to get these right the first time.

Who Is This For

This course is for identity administrators, security engineers, and IT professionals who manage Microsoft Entra ID in production environments.

Some experience with Microsoft Entra ID or Azure AD administration is expected.
