The expertise and real-world knowledge of InCommon Academy instructors is unparalleled in the field of identity and access management (IAM). They consistently earn high marks from software training attendees with 83% rating them very satisfactory for:
- The usefulness of their content
- Their accessibility to and interaction with attendees
Due in large part to their efforts to design practical, hands-on workshops, InCommon Academy software training isn’t your run-of-the-mill educational offering.
