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.

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.
The half-day entry point to post-quantum cryptography: what changes, why it matters now, and the vocabulary every later course assumes. Security professionals, IT managers, compliance officers, risk analysts, software developers, enterprise architects, and business leaders who need a grounded introduction to post-quantum cryptography. No prior quantum computing or advanced cryptography knowledge is required.
Find where cryptography lives. Build a cryptographic bill of materials (CBOM) from discovery through prioritized action. Enterprise tooling, automation approaches, and the scoring model that drives migration sequencing. Security engineers, security architects, IT asset management professionals, and anyone tasked with leading or conducting cryptographic discovery for PQC migration.
Executive-level immersion in quantum technology. Day 1: computing, networking, and sensing. Day 2: the security dimension. Small group format (max 12). Includes guided self-assessment and personalized action plan. C-suite executives, board members, senior government officials, investment committee members, and organizational leaders who need both the technology perspective and the security perspective in a concentrated, high-access format.
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.
An eight-hour intensive on quantum-safe payments: card rails, HSM estates, key ceremonies, and the migration path for payment infrastructure. Payment security architects, cryptography and HSM engineers, terminal and card product managers, scheme compliance leads, and the risk staff who will sign the plan. It suits issuers, acquirers, processors, schemes, terminal manufacturers, and payment service providers. Mixed teams get more from the day than individuals, because the engineer who knows the HSM estate rarely knows the terminal refresh schedule and neither of them owns the scheme relationship.
A two-hour briefing for board members on quantum risk, fiduciary exposure, and the questions to put to management. Non-executive directors, board members, audit committee members, risk committee members, and corporate secretaries preparing board materials on technology risk.
Two hours on building the internal business case for PQC migration: framing, budget logic, and the arguments a CFO will accept. CISOs, security program managers, and anyone responsible for securing PQC migration funding. Also useful for CFOs, finance leaders, and budget committee members who want to understand what they are being asked to fund.
