SUMMARY:Certified Chief Quantum Officer (CCQO) Program – Live Online\, November 2026 – January 2027
DESCRIPTION:The first Chief Quantum Officer Program cohort runs live online across six Saturday sessions\, from November 2026 to January 2027. \nThe program is built for the executive who owns quantum inside an organization\, or who is about to. It covers quantum technology as a whole\, with computing\, networking\, and sensing on the opportunity side and post-quantum cryptographic migration on the risk side\, and it treats all of it as a portfolio to be funded\, governed\, and defended rather than as a set of technologies to be understood in isolation. \nAssessment is a capstone project rather than a written exam. Participants build a quantum strategy and three-year roadmap for a simulated multinational that we supply\, and two assessors from our board of instructors mark it independently against a rubric issued at enrollment. Neither assessor will have taught the cohort. Passing awards the CCQO credential. \nSession dates\nAll sessions run 14:00 to 18:00 UTC\, which is 09:00 to 13:00 New York time\, or 15:00 to 19:00 Frankfurt time. \nSaturday\, November 7\, 2026 – Reading the fieldSaturday\, November 14\, 2026 – Where the value is\, and where it isn’tSaturday\, November 21\, 2026 – Quantum readiness as an operating capabilitySaturday\, December 5\, 2026 – The risk sideSaturday\, December 12\, 2026 – Governance\, funding\, and the boardSaturday\, January 9\, 2027 – Capstone workshop \nThe break between December 12 and January 9 is deliberate\, and it is when most of the capstone work gets done. Capstone submissions are due two weeks after the final session. \nWhat is included\nAll six live sessions. The course handbook\, which is the full program written out with the instructor notes in place. Copies of Quantum Ready\, Quantum Systems Integration\, and Quantum Sovereignty. The capstone brief and marking rubric\, issued at enrollment. Independent assessment by two members of the board of instructors\, with results inside ten business days. On a pass\, the CCQO credential and a verifiable badge at ccqo.pro. \nCohort and confirmation\nThis cohort runs as scheduled. The eight-participant minimum that applies to other scheduled Quantum Academy courses does not apply here\, and the dates above are confirmed at the point of sale rather than 21 days out. \nPlaces are limited to keep the cohort small enough for every participant to present their capstone work and take live critique in the final session. \nJoining instructions and the capstone brief go out on enrollment rather than seven days before the start\, so participants can begin reading immediately. \nThe CCQO is a private professional credential issued by Quantum Academy\, a trade name of Post-Quantum Institute. It is not a government-issued license\, an accredited degree\, or academic credit\, and holding it does not guarantee employment\, promotion\, regulatory approval\, or any other specific outcome. \nThe full session outline\, the capstone terms\, and pricing for every format are on the Certified Chief Quantum Officer (CCQO) Program page. \n\nThis program is educational and informational\, and is not legal\, compliance\, or engineering advice. \n\n

SUMMARY:PQC Compliance: Saudi Arabia – Live Online\, November 2026
DESCRIPTION:Saudi Arabia’s post-quantum requirements for SAMA-licensed institutions\, government entities and critical national infrastructure. We cover SAMA’s 2026 quantum circular\, the NCA’s cryptographic standards and controls\, and the evidence supervisors will ask for. \nCISOs\, chief risk officers\, compliance officers and migration program managers at SAMA-licensed banks\, finance and payment companies\, credit information companies and financing support entities. Also useful for government entities and critical national infrastructure operators that follow NCA controls\, and for the technology providers that serve them. \nWhat you will cover\n\nExplain each requirement in SAMA’s circular and its deadline\nBuild inventory procedures that meet the December 31\, 2026 deadline\nRun the enterprise quantum risk assessment due by March 31\, 2027\nWrite remediation plans for priority assets\, including third-party dependencies\nSet up committee oversight of quantum risk as the circular requires\nApply the NCA’s cryptographic standards and controls where they bind your organization\n\nThe format\n2 hours. Delivered live from 07:00 to 09:00 UTC\, which is 10:00 to 12:00 Riyadh time. Included: Course handbook\, 180 days of on-demand access\, certificate of completion. \nFull outline\, modules\, and delivery details are on the course page: PQC Compliance: Saudi Arabia. \nOur 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. \nThis course is educational and informational\, and is not legal\, compliance\, or engineering advice.

SUMMARY:Post-Quantum Foundation – In-Person\, Zurich\, November 2026
DESCRIPTION:The half-day entry point to post-quantum cryptography: what changes\, why it matters now\, and the vocabulary every later course assumes. \nBuilt for those who need to understand PQC well enough to contribute to organizational discussions and planning\, who are evaluating whether to pursue formal PQC certification\, and who want to assess their organization’s quantum exposure at a conceptual level. \nWhat you will cover\n\nExplain the quantum threat to current cryptography using the HNDL (harvest-now-decrypt-later) and TNFL (trust-now-forge-later) threat models\nDistinguish between quantum computing milestones (quantum advantage\, logical qubits) and a cryptographically relevant quantum computer (CRQC)\nIdentify the finalized NIST post-quantum standards\nDescribe the phases of a PQC migration using the PQC Migration Framework\nAssess quantum threat timelines using evidence-based reasoning rather than vendor marketing\nIdentify the regulatory and market drivers creating immediate urgency\n\nThe format\nHalf day\, 4 hours. Included: Course handbook\, refreshments\, certificate of completion. \nFull 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 Foundation. \nOur 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.
