Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD)

Overview

The Microsoft Entra ID course trains participants in managing and securing identities and access for cloud, on-premises and hybrid environments using Microsoft’s modern identity platform. It covers core IAM (Identity & Access Management) concepts, implementation of single sign-on (SSO), MFA/passwordless authentication, conditional access, role & group management, and integration with applications and services. By the end of the course, learners will be able to configure Entra ID tenants, secure user and application access, and apply best practices for identity governance and Zero Trust access.
