Twelve two-hour sessions of instructor-led preparation for the Post-Quantum Certified Specialist credential: cryptographic inventory, algorithm selection, hybrid deployment, and migration execution. Security professionals, IT architects, software developers, cryptography practitioners, systems engineers, and technical consultants who want to build verified PQC competence. It suits professionals who hold or are pursuing roles in security engineering, security architecture, application security, infrastructure security, or technical consulting.

Six Saturday sessions of instructor-led preparation for the Certified Chief Quantum Officer credential, live online from November 2026 to January 2027. Computing, networking, and sensing on the opportunity side, post-quantum migration on the risk side, and an independently marked capstone that turns both into a plan a board will approve.
Lead PQC migration programs with confidence. Covers migration governance, regulatory compliance, organizational readiness, risk communication, vendor management, and program execution. Prerequisite: PQCS certification. CISOs, security managers, program managers, project managers, compliance managers, risk managers, and senior technical leaders who are responsible – or will be responsible – for overseeing PQC migration within their organizations. It is also appropriate for consultants and advisors who guide clients through PQC transitions.
Four hours for senior leaders on quantum security exposure, regulatory direction, and what an adequate response looks like. CISOs, CIOs, CTOs, VPs of engineering, and senior IT leaders. Also appropriate for risk officers and compliance leaders who need the security context before engaging with PQC governance.
Building systems that can transition between cryptographic algorithms without major re-engineering. Architecture patterns that achieve agility versus patterns that only claim it. Standards, testing, and compliance considerations. Security architects, principal engineers, and technical leads who will design the systems that have to keep working through the next algorithm change as well as this one. It suits anyone whose remit is the target state rather than the current migration. If you need to execute a migration now rather than design for the one after it, PQC Migration: Executing the Waves is the more useful course.
