Hands-On Access reviews
RCCE students will learn user access review processes including periodic access certification campaigns, manager attestation workflows, entitlement review automation, and segregation of duties enforcement. RCCE students will learn to design access review programs, select appropriate review frequencies based on risk, configure identity governance platforms for automated access certification, investigate inappropriate access findings, calculate rubber-stamping rates, enforce access removal for failed reviews, report access review metrics to compliance stakeholders, and integrate access reviews with joiner-mover-leaver lifecycle processes. This practice-intensive course emphasizes applied skills through lab exercises, real-world scenarios, and production-realistic workflows. Building on core knowledge, RCCE students will learn by doing, building muscle memory and practical confidence through repeated hands-on engagement. Students complete exercises that mirror actual workplace tasks, ensuring skills transfer directly to their professional roles.
