Expense this course
IAM training is exactly what professional-development budgets exist for — it’s security work, it’s compliance-adjacent, and it maps to a Microsoft certification your team can point to. Most students who ask, get approved.
Subject: Training request: Microsoft Entra ID course ($249–$399) Hi [Manager], I’d like to use my professional development budget for a hands-on Microsoft Entra ID course: Entra ID Mastery (allthingsidentity.com/entra-id-mastery.html). Why this one: • 20 hands-on labs in a tenant I stand up myself as part of the course — the same skill used for proofs-of-concept at work. Nothing runs in our production tenant, and no paid Azure subscription is required. • Built around enterprise scenarios (Conditional Access design, PIM, identity governance, lifecycle automation) — the exact work we deal with. • Aligned to the Microsoft SC-300 certification, which I can sit after completing it. • Taught by a practitioner with 14+ years running IAM in federal and commercial environments, and kept current with the Entra portal as Microsoft changes it. Cost is $249 (Standard) or $399 (Pro, includes two 1:1 coaching sessions with a live resume/LinkedIn review, plus SC-300 exam prep). It comes with a 14-day money-back guarantee and an invoice for reimbursement. The founding price ends soon, so I’d like to enroll this month if the budget allows. Thanks, [Name]
