Okta Training

What courses are offered?

At Okta, we have a lot of professionally developed training programs in place that are very effective at teaching our customers + partners about the technical aspects of the products we offer. Whether you’re an Administrator, Developer, or Implementation Consultant, Okta Training is easy to navigate! 

The recommended learning path is to begin with the Hands-on Instructor-led Training (ILT) Labs designed for your role. In these courses, you’ll learn best practices and get realistic product experience with simulated Okta environments that support lecture and interactive activities.

You can continue with a self-paced learning approach with our basic product overview videos. In the Okta Help Center you’ll find Documentation and Training Videos, like the New Feature Release Video Series which will keep you in the know on what’s new in the product on a monthly basis.

I’m registered for a Hands-on training class. Do you mind if a colleague looks over my shoulder?

We have to be clear about this one: Each training seat is like an individual license, assigned to just one student. Confirmed students are the only people who may attend the training. Sharing the training event with others in any way is expressly prohibited. Confirmed students are the only people who will receive course materials for the specified class.

What happens if I miss a Hands-on course I’ve registered for?

Please read our Training Terms to be familiar with our registration change and cancellation terms and penalties.  

How do I attend my training session?

Accessing the Okta Virtual Classroom is easy!  Once registered, you’ll receive a confirmation email from us with a calendar invite. You will also receive and email reminder 24 hours, 1 hour, and 30-15 minutes before the class starts. Each of these emails will include instructions on how to launch the class.  You can also launch your class from the Transcript page of your Okta Learning Portal’s Learning.Check out these tips for Virtual Classroom Success to ensure your training experience is awesome.

How do I access training videos? 

The Okta Help Center includes an extensive library of training videos and knowledge base articles, available whenever you feel the urge.

How long do virtual training sessions last?

Class lengths vary, depending on the course. Check your course schedule for beginning and end times.

Is virtual training interactive?

All virtual classes are highly interactive.  The include a variety of lectures, application demonstrations, and question-and-answer sessions with a live instructor. Premium courses include access to an online lab environment where you will complete hands-on learning activities.

Do virtual classes have breaks?

Don’t worry, your live instructor is human, and also has to eat and take care of business. Each session includes scheduled breaks, which will be reviewed at the beginning of the course.

What do I need to bring to class?

Other than your questions and your sharp intellect, you will need the following to fully participate in class:

• A computer with a good Internet connection.
• An audio connection: Either a telephone, or a headset and microphone for VoIP connection.
• A keyboard and mouse, to complete online labs and answer instructor polls in Premium courses.
• We strongly recommend using a large monitor or dual monitor setup for Premium ILT Lab courses, so you can split your screen and more easily follow lab instructions during hands-on activities. You will also need a keyboard and mouse, to complete online labs and answer instructor polls in Premium courses.
