Identity management is the first pillar of any Zero Trust security strategy. The Microsoft Identity and Access Administrator training (SC-300) teaches you in four days to deploy, configure, and administer Microsoft Entra ID to secure access to applications, data, and resources in your organization. You will master multi-factor authentication, conditional access, identity protection, and privileged access governance in cloud and hybrid environments.
Delivered by an MCT-certified trainer at ITTA in Geneva or Lausanne, this SC-300 training combines theoretical courses and hands-on labs on the official Microsoft cloud environment. You will work on concrete scenarios for configuring Microsoft Entra ID, managing B2B and B2C external identities, hybrid identity, and Privileged Identity Management (PIM). At the end of this intensive four-day training, you will be prepared for the SC-300 Microsoft Identity and Access Administrator exam and you will have the skills to administer identities and access in your organization’s Microsoft ecosystem.

The SC-300 Microsoft Identity and Access Administrator exam is the reference certification for professionals in charge of identity management in the Microsoft ecosystem. With 110 monthly searches in Switzerland and 590 in France for the keyword sc-300, this certification meets a growing need from companies deploying Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory) to secure access for their employees, partners, and customers.
The keyword entra id generates 3,600 monthly searches, which demonstrates the massive interest in this technology. In French-speaking Switzerland, where compliance and data protection requirements are high, mastering Microsoft Entra ID has become an essential skill for IT administrators and security engineers.
At ITTA, a Microsoft Learning Partner based in Geneva and Lausanne, the SC-300 training is delivered over four days by an MCT certified trainer with labs on the official Microsoft cloud environment.
Microsoft Entra ID is Microsoft’s cloud identity service that centralizes authentication and authorization for all applications and resources in an organization. The SC-300 training teaches you to configure and administer the key features of this platform.
Multi-factor authentication (MFA) strengthens connection security by requiring additional verification. Conditional Access allows you to define granular policies that adapt authentication requirements based on context (location, device, risk level). Identity protection automatically detects risky sign-ins and compromised accounts, triggering remediation actions.
The training covers identity governance in depth with Microsoft Entra ID Governance. Privileged Identity Management (PIM) allows you to control and audit the use of privileged roles, activating permissions only when needed (just-in-time). Access reviews automate periodic verification of rights assigned to users and groups.
Entitlement management packages define sets of resources accessible to employees and partners, with approval workflows and expiration policies. These mechanisms ensure the principle of least privilege and reduce the attack surface related to excessive rights.
Many organizations maintain a hybrid environment with on-premises Active Directory and Microsoft Entra ID in the cloud. The SC-300 training teaches you to deploy Microsoft Entra Connect to synchronize identities, configure pass-through authentication (PTA) and password hash synchronization (PHS), and resolve synchronization errors.
External identities are also covered: B2B collaboration for partners, external identity provider configuration, and cross-tenant access controls. Microsoft Entra Verified ID adds an additional layer of trust for scenarios requiring strong user identity validation.
You will learn to integrate enterprise applications with Microsoft Entra ID for single sign-on (SSO). The training covers SaaS application configuration from the gallery, Application Proxy for on-premises applications, application registration, consent management, and automatic user provisioning. Application access monitoring and auditing complete the program, giving you a complete overview of identity administration in the Microsoft ecosystem.
SC-300 certified identity administrators are sought after in all sectors in French-speaking Switzerland. Identity management is a prerequisite for regulatory compliance (DPA, GDPR) and access security in cloud environments. The SC-300 certification validates directly operational skills and constitutes, together with SC-200, the recommended foundation for accessing the SC-100 Cybersecurity Architect expert certification.
What are the prerequisites for the SC-300 training?
Experience in IT administration, knowledge of Microsoft Azure, and IT security basics are recommended. The SC-900 certification can be a good starting point.
Is the SC-300, in the training?
The training prepares you for the official Microsoft certification exam, which can be taken after completing the course
What is the difference between SC-300 and SC-200?
SC-300 focuses on identity and access management with Microsoft Entra ID. SC-200 covers security operations with Microsoft Sentinel and Defender XDR. These two certifications are complementary and constitute the recommended prerequisites for SC-100.
Is the training available as a virtual class?
Yes, in-person in Geneva or Lausanne, or as a virtual class with the same MCT certified trainer and the same Microsoft cloud labs.
What is Microsoft Entra ID compared to Azure Active Directory?
Microsoft Entra ID is the new name for Azure Active Directory (Azure AD). The service remains identical, but Microsoft has unified its identity range under the Entra brand, which now includes Entra ID, Entra External ID, Entra Permissions Management, and Entra Verified ID.
How does SC-300 fit into a security certification path?
SC-300 is an associate-level certification that validates identity management expertise. Combined with SC-200, it constitutes the ideal prerequisite for taking SC-100 (Cybersecurity Architect). SC-401 (information security) completes the trio of associate-level certifications in the Microsoft security path.
