Hands-on IAM and cybersecurity training for IT professionals and career-changers — taught on the same tools running in production: Entra ID, Okta, SailPoint, and CyberArk.
Whether you're breaking into IT or already working in it, IAM is one of the fastest-growing, highest-demand specializations in cybersecurity.
Start from zero. Learn what identity and access management actually is, why every company depends on it, and how to break into your first IAM-adjacent role.
Already in tech? Specialize into one of the highest-paying, most in-demand corners of cybersecurity — with practical, tool-based training, not theory.
I'm Manmeet Dhanesar, an IAM and cybersecurity professional with hands-on experience across identity governance, access certification, and non-human identity management.
For the past three years I've taught IAM one-on-one — building custom curricula for students ranging from complete beginners to IT professionals pivoting into identity roles. CyberIAM Academy is that same practical, no-fluff approach, built to reach more people at once.
Every lesson is built on free-tier sandbox environments — Microsoft 365 Developer Program, Okta Developer Edition, ServiceNow PDI — so you're practicing on real consoles, not slideshows, without needing employer access to get started.
No abstract theory — every topic maps to what's on real IAM job descriptions and what you'll be asked in interviews.
How access is granted, changed, and revoked across an employee's lifecycle.
Automated user provisioning and deprovisioning between systems.
Single sign-on and identity federation between identity providers and apps.
Modern authentication and authorization flows powering today's apps.
Periodic reviews that confirm the right people still have the right access.
Role-based access control and privileged access management in practice.
50+ real interview questions pulled from actual IAM job postings, complete with sample answers and a scenario-based section that tests how you'd actually handle access requests, audits, and incidents.
15 real questions, free — plus early access when the full kit launches.
Every module is built around free-tier sandbox environments, so you can practice on the real thing — no employer access required.
Free Entra ID tenant for practicing identity, MFA, and lifecycle configuration.
Live Okta environment for SSO, SAML, and OIDC configuration practice.
Personal developer instance for access request and approval workflows.
Real feedback from students I've taught 1:1 — names, roles, and LinkedIn links included so it's checkable, not just claimed. Many are still job hunting, and that's exactly why they keep referring friends and colleagues.
REPLACE with a specific quote from a real student — mention what they learned or achieved, not generic praise.

Nothing builds trust like a real voice. A few short, unscripted clips from students — 15-30 seconds is plenty.
As identity extends beyond people — to AI agents and other non-human identities — the fundamentals of IAM matter more, not less. I cover how AI is reshaping access management, grounded in the same core principles, not hype.
