SC-300 — Microsoft Certified: Identity and Access Administrator Associate
Microsoft's IAM certification covering the full Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) platform — identity lifecycle, conditional access, PIM, external identities, and application access management. Given Microsoft's dominance in enterprise identity infrastructure, this is arguably the most practically relevant IAM certification for the majority of enterprise environments. One-year renewal keeps it current with rapidly evolving Microsoft IAM capabilities. Not DoD 8140 approved. If an organization runs Microsoft for identity — which is most organizations — SC-300 is effectively mandatory knowledge for IAM practitioners and increasingly listed as a requirement rather than a nice-to-have.
