Hands-on labs

Practice in a real tenant, not a slideshow

Every course runs against a live lab Microsoft 365 tenant. You configure, break, and fix real security controls, not click through slides.

Instructor-led

Taught by people who run Maester in production

Courses are delivered by vetted Microsoft 365 security practitioners, in English or German, remote for your team.
