Description
Mastering Microsoft Entra is your all-inclusive guide to understanding and deploying Microsoft’s next-generation identity and secure access platform. This course is built for IT professionals, cloud engineers, identity administrators, and security architects who want to build practical skills around managing secure identities in today’s hybrid and multicloud environments. Microsoft Entra goes far beyond traditional identity management—it’s the foundation of a modern Zero Trust security strategy, and this course will help you master it from the ground up.
You’ll begin by learning the identity fundamentals that drive Microsoft Entra, including core concepts such as users, groups, role assignments, authentication types, and identity federation. From there, you'll move into more advanced territory—configuring Conditional Access policies, enforcing multifactor authentication, using authentication strengths, and leveraging Identity Protection to detect and respond to risky sign-ins and behaviors.
As you progress, you’ll get hands-on with Privileged Identity Management (PIM), learning how to enforce just-in-time access, set up access reviews, configure approval workflows, and automate identity lifecycle management. You’ll also explore workload identities and learn how to register and manage applications, assign permissions, and understand the principles behind secure app access and SCIM provisioning.
The course includes detailed modules on External ID to help you collaborate securely with partners (B2B) and customers (B2C), and you'll be introduced to Microsoft Entra Verified ID, a cutting-edge solution for issuing and verifying decentralized credentials. You'll also explore Microsoft Entra Internet Access and Private Access, learning how to enable secure, VPN-free connectivity to applications and resources across hybrid and multicloud environments.
We’ll walk you through diagnostic settings, Entra logs, usage insights, and workbooks so that you can monitor identity operations effectively and build visibility into authentication, policy enforcement, and tenant health.
By the end of the course, you’ll be equipped not only with the knowledge required to pass the SC-300: Microsoft Identity and Access Administrator Associate certification, but also with the confidence and hands-on skills to implement Microsoft Entra in real-world environments. The course is packed with architectural guidance, visual breakdowns, and practical labs that reflect how identity is managed in the enterprise.
Whether you're starting your journey into identity and access management or looking to sharpen your existing skills, Mastering Microsoft Entra will help you take your expertise to the next level—and position you as a trusted identity leader in your organization.
