Thank you very much for creating this course, even though it is a fundamentals course on IAM It has a lot of great information and I'm enjoying it because it is helping me understand from my service desk position how much I know and how much I might not know.

Super interesting course. I liked the unique presentation style - it helped me understand the concepts. The instructor has an amazing voice - which made it easy for me to complete the course! Thank you for making this course interesting and informative!

By Glyn Davies on 8/15/2026

Great course! Highly recommended to those wanting to learn the basics of IAM. Everything is explained clearly, at a moderate pace and in plain, easy to understand language. Practical examples are provided to reinforce what has been explained.

Es ist selten, dass ich bereits am Anfang einen Kurs so hoch bewerte - aber bei diesem Kurs musste ich es tun - er ist ausgezeichnet!

Robotic learning, I was expecting more human interactikn not just some text and drawings. Is very slow and you need to increase the speed. I could spend my money on another properr training.

By Bryce Verdier on 5/18/2026

In the final quiz, it felt like more questions were about IAM vendors than the training indicated. Otherwise, I enjoyed the training. It gave a good foundation.

By Ricardo Hendrichs on 5/16/2026

I really liked the explanations, there were always good examples, and the whole thing felt like a good and concise overview of the subject. Lastly, the kind of language used overall was simple, that's always a plus for me in any course.

By Dorian Malonga on 5/12/2026

This is by far the best course I've ever taken on this platform! I've only recently started working in IT (7 months), and I'm beginning to explore other career paths related to my support role. Everything is explained in detail, with examples, and in an accessible tone. I’ve fallen in love with IAM and am moving right on to my first Okta certification. I’m really looking forward to learning more. Thank you for this course I recommend it 100%.

By Rodrigo de Almeida Pinto on 4/30/2026

Curso sem muita "identidade própria", mas que consegue usar esse excesso de simplicidade a seu favor, transmitindo todo o conteúdo de maneira clara, usando linguagem simples e slides bastante minimalistas mostrando apenas o que é relevante.

By Shawn Coleman on 4/22/2026

Very good course, went over the basics very well in a way that made it easy to remember and stick. I was impressed with this course.
