Two people, not a faceless course.
At Privance you are taught by the same two people the whole way through, with a clear handoff between them. Chad builds your foundations and only passes you forward when you are genuinely ready. Lance takes you through the advanced work, the full compliance stack, and the career push that gets you in front of employers.
Chad
Chad runs Level 1: entry-level IAM and CyberArk. He takes people with no tech background and builds the fundamentals patiently, IT and Active Directory basics, core identity concepts, and the first hands-on work in privileged access, at a pace that assumes you are starting from zero.
His teaching philosophy is simple: nobody moves up before the basics are genuinely solid. Chad owns the readiness gate. He signs off against a clear checklist, not a calendar, so you only advance when you can actually handle the deeper material. That is what keeps the experience consistent and your time well spent.
Lance
Lance is a practicing identity and privileged-access engineer with enterprise and SOX-audit experience. He leads Level 2: advanced CyberArk, Okta, and Active Directory, plus the full governance and compliance stack of SOX, HIPAA, and NIST, taught from real practice rather than slideware.
He also owns the part of the program that turns skills into a job: your capstone, your resume and LinkedIn, interview prep, and the career work that gets you in front of employers. His approach is to keep you working on real tooling and real evidence, so what you put on your resume is defensible, not fabricated.
A deliberate pass from Chad to Lance.
The two tracks are connected by one clear gate, so you never reach the deep work before you can handle it.
Build the base
You start in Level 1 with Chad. He grounds you in IT and Active Directory fundamentals, core identity concepts, and your first hands-on CyberArk work, at a pace built for people changing careers into the field.
Earn the advance
When the fundamentals are genuinely solid, Chad signs off against a clear checklist and hands you up to Lance for Level 2. The advanced work, the GRC stack, the capstone, and the career phase all live there.
How much time you get with us.
Every package is taught by Chad and Lance, but how closely you work with them depends on the track you choose.
Cohort plus bounded one-on-one
You learn live in a cohort: foundations with Chad, advanced and GRC with Lance. On top of the group work you get bounded one-on-one time with Lance, coached resume and LinkedIn, and mock interviews, with support through the job-search window.
Extensive one-on-one, until hired
Platinum is the done-for-you track: extensive one-on-one time with Lance, a real capstone under Privance you can list as experience, your resume and LinkedIn built for you, and mentor support that continues through the job search until you are hired.
We do not sell job guarantees. You bring the work; we bring the skills, the verifiable experience, and the mentorship.
