SC-300 Identity and Access Administrator in Singapore: Exam Domains, Funding and Practice Exams
Summary
SC-300 is the Microsoft credential for IT and security staff running Microsoft Entra ID and Conditional Access. This guide covers what the exam measures, what the 4 days WSQ course covers, and what you pay after SkillsFuture funding — $1,180 for Singapore Citizens and PRs aged 21 and above, or $780 for Singapore Citizens aged 40 and above.
Why SC-300 is worth sitting
Identity is the security perimeter now. Nearly every significant breach involves credentials somewhere in the chain, and in Microsoft environments the controls that matter — Conditional Access, multifactor authentication, privileged access management — all live in Entra ID. SC-300 certifies you can run them.
- Authentication and access management is the heaviest domain at 25–30%, covering Conditional Access, MFA and passwordless.
- Identity governance is covered properly — access reviews, entitlement management and privileged access.
- Hybrid identity is included, which matters for the many Singapore organisations still running Entra Connect alongside on-premise AD.
- It pairs directly with SC-200 for a complete security-operations skill set.
The course is mapped to the Skills Framework under Security Strategy (TSC code ICT-SNA-6021-1.1), and leads to roles such as Identity and Access Administrator, IT Security Specialist, Microsoft Entra Specialist, Systems Administrator. Check the funding you qualify for.

What you actually pay: funding for SC-300 training
The full fee is $2,000 before GST. As an SWDA-funded WSQ course, the subsidy depends on your citizenship, age and who is sponsoring you:
| Who you are | Subsidy | You pay (incl. GST) |
|---|---|---|
| Non-funded / international participants | – | $2,180 |
| Singapore Citizen or PR, aged 21 and above | 50% | $1,180 |
| Singapore Citizen aged 40 and above (MCES), or SME-sponsored | 70% | $780 |
GST of $180 is charged at 9% on the full course fee of $2,000, as required for SWDA-funded courses — the subsidy applies to the course fee, not the tax.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need security experience before SC-300?
This is an intermediate-level course. Familiarity with Microsoft 365 or Azure administration is assumed, though deep security experience is not required.
Does this cover Conditional Access in depth?
Yes. Conditional Access sits in the authentication and access management domain, which is the heaviest on the exam at 25–30%, and is covered hands-on.
Is the exam fee included?
No. The course fee covers training and the WSQ assessment. The SC-300 exam is booked separately through Pearson VUE.
How does SC-300 differ from SC-200?
SC-300 is about identity — who gets access to what. SC-200 is about security operations — detecting and responding to threats once they occur.
Does the certification expire?
Yes, annually, with free online renewal through Microsoft Learn.
