Post-Quantum Certified Architect (PQCA) Training – Live Online (EMEA & APAC), March 2027
Design PQC migration solutions end to end. Covers cryptographic architecture assessment, algorithm selection for specific contexts, hybrid implementation design, and migration pattern selection. Prerequisite: PQCS certification.
Security architects, enterprise architects, senior security engineers, cryptography engineers, and technical leads who will be responsible for designing PQC migration solutions. You should already hold PQCS-level knowledge and be ready to apply it at the architectural level.
What you will cover
- Assess an organization’s cryptographic architecture to identify every point requiring PQC migration, including embedded and non-obvious cryptographic dependencies
- Select appropriate PQC algorithms for specific deployment contexts, accounting for security requirements, performance constraints, key and signature sizes, bandwidth budgets, and interoperability needs
- Design hybrid implementation strategies (hybrid key exchange, hybrid signatures, composite certificates) appropriate to the transition period
- Architect PQC migration at the protocol level for TLS, SSH, IPsec/IKEv2, S/MIME, code signing, PKI, DNSSEC, and other standards
- Evaluate trade-offs between migration approaches (in-place upgrade, parallel infrastructure, phased rollover) for different system types
- Design cryptographic agility into new and existing architectures
The format
24 hours over 4 days, 6 hours daily. Delivered live on four consecutive days, Monday to Thursday, 07:00 to 13:00 UTC each day, for participants in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia-Pacific. Included: Course handbook, 180 days of on-demand access, 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 Architect (PQCA) Training.
Prerequisite: Active PQCS – Post-Quantum Certified Specialist certification.
The PQCA certification exam is not included and is booked separately.
Our confirmation guarantee. This course needs eight participants. If it has not reached eight twenty-one days before the start date, we cancel it, refund you in full, and add a credit toward any course at the same price or lower. If you do not hear from us, the course is going ahead.
