What You Get With This Course

Comprehensive Curriculum

From fundamentals to advanced Authentik implementations — authentication, access control models, federation, SSO, MFA, identity lifecycle, and compliance. Everything in one structured, practitioner-built course.

Your Own Personal Lab Environment

A dedicated, pre-built lab running Authentik, WordPress, OrangeHRM, and a live Joiner/Mover/Leaver dashboard. You're not watching someone else click through demos — you're doing it yourself in a real environment that mirrors what enterprise IAM teams actually use.

45-Minute Private Coaching Session with Andrew

This is the differentiator. A private, focused 45-minute session with an IAM practitioner who has 20+ years of experience across federal and enterprise environments. Use it to prep for interviews, get unstuck on a concept, map your career path, or talk through a real IAM challenge. No scripts, no slides — just direct access to someone who's been doing this for two decades.

Hands-On Labs

Get your own personal lab with Authentik, OrangeHRM, and WordPress — running real identity scenarios you can talk about in interviews.

Direct Access to Andrew

Led by a 20+ year IAM veteran, Identiverse speaker, and LinkedIn Learning course creator. Not a talking head — a practitioner who has built and broken real identity systems.

Built for Career Changers and IT Professionals

Whether you're coming from IT or starting fresh, this course gives you the hands-on experience, the vocabulary, and the confidence to compete for IAM roles.

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. The Premium tier exists because some people don't just want to learn — they want a direct line to someone who can help them navigate the path. That's what the coaching session is for.

Everything You Need to Land Your First IAM Role

The curriculum. The lab. The coaching. There's no higher tier because there doesn't need to be. If you're ready to make IAM your career, enroll now and let's get to work
