SC-300: Microsoft Identity and Access Administrator Prep

This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.

Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) sits at the center of every Microsoft cloud deployment, and SC-300 is the associate-level credential that proves you can design, implement, and operate identity and access at scale. This course, built by Aseem Mankotia, walks through all four official Skills Measured domains in exam order: implementing and managing user identities, implementing authentication and access management, planning and implementing workload identities, and planning and automating identity governance. Every chapter maps directly to a scored exam domain and its published weight range, so your study time goes exactly where the exam allocates its points.

Instead of abstract definitions, each chapter opens with the concrete portal task or policy decision the exam actually tests — configuring a dynamic group membership rule, weighing password hash synchronization against PTA, building a Conditional Access policy with the correct assignments and controls, scoping a PIM eligible assignment, or designing an access package with the right approval workflow. Hands-on labs use a free or trial Microsoft Entra tenant so you can replicate every configuration Aseem Mankotia demonstrates, and every chapter ends with exam-style scenario questions, common wrong-answer traps, and a one-line key takeaway you can review the night before your exam.

The course closes with a full-length exam simulation chapter spanning all four domains, plus a time-management strategy for handling case studies and interactive item types within the roughly 120-minute exam window. This is exam-focused preparation, not a general Entra ID overview — expect concrete numbers, portal steps, and the specific reasoning Microsoft expects from a certified Identity and Access Administrator. Because Microsoft refreshes SC-300 objectives periodically, always confirm the current Skills Measured guide and exam format on Microsoft Learn before scheduling, and verify the current exam fee (approximately USD 165, regional pricing varies) directly with Microsoft.
