Certifications
A proctored exam and a credential that signals applied competence to employers. Certifications carry annual maintenance and a recertification path, and are verifiable at a dedicated .pro domain. They are independent of any vendor.
Quantum Academy certifications are private, professional credentials issued by Post-Quantum Institute. They are not government-issued licenses or accredited academic degrees, and completing a program does not guarantee any specific employment or regulatory outcome.
