Post-Quantum Certified Validator (PQCV) Training – Live Online, May 2027

Four days of instructor-led preparation for the Post-Quantum Certified Validator credential: testing, assurance, and validation of post-quantum deployments.

Built for security testers and penetration testers who will conduct technical validation of PQC, QA engineers who need to design test strategies for cryptographic transitions that go, and compliance auditors and internal audit teams who must verify that PQC migration programs.

What you will cover

• Design comprehensive test strategies for PQC implementations that cover functional correctness, security properties, interoperability, and performance
• Test hybrid implementations for correct behavior under both normal conditions and adversarial scenarios (including downgrade attacks
• Conduct negative testing: verify that legacy algorithms are refused where policy requires refusal, and that fallback mechanisms cannot be exploited
• Validate PQC certificate chains across vendors and platforms, identifying interoperability failures before they reach production
• Benchmark PQC implementation performance against defined service-level thresholds
• Produce verification evidence dossiers that satisfy audit requirements, regulatory expectations, and insurance assessments

The format

Four days, 09:00 to 16:30 each day: 24 hours of instruction, six hours of teaching daily within a schedule that includes breaks. Included: Course handbook, 180 days of access to the online on-demand course, certificate of completion.

Full outline, modules, and delivery details are on the course page, together with a justification letter you can adapt if you need internal approval to attend: Post-Quantum Certified Validator (PQCV) Training.

Prerequisite: Active PQCS – Post-Quantum Certified Specialist certification.

The PQCV certification exam is not included and is booked separately.
