PKI Training at Home with PKI Solutions

Course Description: This course will be delivered electronically in a self-paced environment. You will receive access to download the student materials, lab manual and supporting materials. The course will feature video, audio and slide based content. It will cover all of the same topics and lessons as our in-person courses.

This advanced PKI class focuses on hands-on labs and topics that build on existing Microsoft Active Directory Certificate Services (ADCS) and PKI knowledge of the student. Students will spend the majority of the class working on real-life scenarios in the lab ranging from deploying enrollment services, hacking OCSP for near real-time revocation checking, CA migrations, Certificate Authority migrations, disaster recovery scenarios, certificate reporting, and CA database management. Advanced topics including code signing, key-pair file management, and enrollment agents will also be covered.

Once enrolled, you will have unlimited access to the course material for 90 days to complete at your own pace. Corporate subscriptions are not time-limited.

Target Audience: This course is recommended for anyone who has taken the PKI In-depth training class or is already familiar with Microsoft ADCS and is comfortable in a lab environment working with ADCS.
