What You Get with this Course

Comprehensive Curriculum

From IAM fundamentals to federation, SSO, MFA, access control models, and compliance — everything you need to speak the language of IAM on day one of your new role.

Your Own Hands-On Lab Environment

You get a personal, pre-built lab with Authentik, WordPress, OrangeHRM, and a Joiner/Mover/Leaver dashboard — running real identity scenarios, not sandboxed demos. This is the hands-on experience interviewers ask about.

20-Minute 1:1 Session with Andrew

Get direct access to a practitioner with 20+ years of IAM experience. Use your session to get unstuck, prep for interviews, or map out your next career move. This isn't a chatbot — it's a real conversation.

About the Creator

I'm Andrew Chanthaphone — an IAM practitioner with 20+ years of hands-on experience architecting and deploying identity solutions across federal and enterprise environments. I've spoken at Identiverse, created content for LinkedIn Learning, and appeared on the Identity at the Center podcast. I know what hiring managers look for because I've been on both sides of the table. I built this course because I kept seeing the same problem: talented people getting passed over because they couldn't demonstrate hands-on IAM experience. Theory alone doesn't get you hired. This course fixes that.
