Course Overview

The Identity Governance & Administration (IGA) Training Course provides a comprehensive and practical framework for governing digital identities, managing access rights, and establishing effective identity administration across modern enterprise environments. The course focuses on ensuring that users receive appropriate access based on their roles and responsibilities while maintaining strong security, regulatory compliance, operational efficiency, and accountability. Participants will explore the complete identity lifecycle, from identity creation and onboarding through role changes, access provisioning, periodic reviews, and identity deactivation. The program addresses access requests, approvals, role management, entitlement management, access certification, segregation of duties, policy enforcement, and identity governance controls. The course examines how IGA supports cybersecurity, Zero Trust, risk management, internal controls, audit readiness, and business operations. Participants will learn how to establish governance frameworks that connect business requirements with identity and access decisions, reduce excessive or inappropriate access, and improve visibility across complex hybrid and cloud environments. Through practical exercises, access governance scenarios, role-design workshops, certification simulations, and implementation planning, participants will develop the skills required to assess IGA maturity, identify governance gaps, improve identity administration processes, and establish a sustainable identity governance model aligned with organizational objectives.
