Learning Plan

Okta Professional Series

Follow this learning plan to build key secure identity management skills such as user and group management, user lifecycle management, application integration with SSO methods like SAML, and authentication policy enforcement, including passwordless authentication.

You'll have opportunities to collect some skill badges along the way and get a head start in preparing for the Okta Certified Professional Exam.

If you have no background in identity and want to learn some basic concepts, we recommend you complete Identity Access Management as pre-work to this plan.
