Microsoft Identity and Access Administrator (SC-300)
Microsoft SC-300 Identity and Access Administrator Certification Training Course
Design, implement, and operate identity and access with Microsoft Entra — the Identity and Access Administrator Associate (SC-300) work.
Course focus: Entra tenants and identities, hybrid identity, authentication and Conditional Access, Entra ID Protection, Global Secure Access, workload identities and enterprise apps, and identity governance with entitlement management, access reviews, and PIM.
Course Overview
Operate Microsoft Entra identity and access — not SC-900 vocabulary alone.
Accumentum’s Microsoft SC-300 Identity and Access Administrator Certification Training Course prepares identity and access administrators to configure and manage identities throughout their lifecycles for users, devices, Azure resources, and applications using Microsoft Entra.
This course is not SC-900. SC-900 is an optional primer only. Start here when you are ready to implement Zero Trust identity and access solutions with Entra.
Course Objectives
What you will be able to implement and govern.
01
User and hybrid identities
Entra tenants, users, groups, external identities, and hybrid identity with Connect Sync and Cloud Sync (20–25%).
02
Authentication and access
MFA, passwordless, Conditional Access, Entra ID Protection, and Global Secure Access (25–30%).
03
Workload identities and apps
Managed identities, enterprise apps, app registrations, and Defender for Cloud Apps monitoring (20–25%).
04
Identity governance
Entitlement management, access reviews, Privileged Identity Management, and identity monitoring (20–25%).
Who Should Attend
- Identity and access administrators who design, implement, and operate Microsoft Entra.
- Azure and Microsoft 365 administrators expanding into identity governance and Conditional Access.
