Whether you’re implementing SailPoint for the first time, expanding your deployment, or sharpening your expertise for what’s next in your career, how you learn matters just as much as what you learn. 

Designed for identity security professionals who want hands-on experience, instructor-led training goes beyond theory to help you confidently apply identity best practices, even in today’s complex environments. 

Training built for practitioners, not just learners 

Instructor-led training is live, expert-led instruction designed for real-world applications. Classes are delivered by SailPoint-certified instructors who bring hands-on experience, practical examples, and interactive discussion into every session. Learners work through realistic scenarios, participate in guided exercises, and gain clarity on complex concepts with direct instructor support. 

What sets instructor-led training apart from on-demand training is the live, interactive, hands-on experience within a training sandbox environment. Instead of learning in isolation, participants can ask questions in real time, receive immediate feedback, and engage in meaningful discussions with both instructors and peers. This structure reinforces learning, accelerates understanding, and ensures you leave the session ready to immediately apply what you’ve learned.
