SUMMARY:Post-Quantum Certified Specialist (PQCS) Training – Live Online (Americas)\, October 2026
DESCRIPTION:Three days of instructor-led preparation for the Post-Quantum Certified Specialist credential: cryptographic inventory\, algorithm selection\, hybrid deployment\, and migration execution. \nSecurity 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. \nWhat you will cover\n\nConduct a cryptographic inventory using established methodologies\, including the Cryptographic Bill of Materials (CBOM) approach\nEvaluate each finalized NIST PQC standard (ML-KEM\, ML-DSA\, SLH-DSA)\, and FN-DSA in draft\, for specific use cases based on security properties\, performance characteristics\, and implementation constraints\nExplain hybrid key exchange and hybrid signature approaches and articulate when each is appropriate\nIdentify cryptographic dependencies across protocols (TLS\, SSH\, IPsec\, S/MIME\, code signing\, PKI) and assess their PQC migration requirements\nApply a structured risk-assessment framework to prioritize cryptographic assets for migration\nDevelop a preliminary PQC migration roadmap for a defined scope\n\nThe format\n24 hours over 3 days\, 8 hours daily. Delivered live on three consecutive days\, Wednesday to Friday\, 14:30 to 22:30 UTC each day (10:30 to 18:30 in New York)\, for participants in the Americas. Included: Course handbook\, 180 days of on-demand access\, 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 Certified Specialist (PQCS) Training. \nPrerequisite: Post-Quantum Foundation course (certificate of completion required). \nThe PQCS certification exam is not included and is booked separately. \nOur confirmation guarantee. We run this course as scheduled. The eight-participant minimum that applies to other scheduled Quantum Academy courses does not apply here\, and the dates are confirmed at the point of sale. \nQuantum Academy credentials are private professional credentials issued by Quantum Academy\, a trade name of Post-Quantum Institute. They are not government-issued licenses\, accredited degrees\, or academic credit\, and earning one does not guarantee employment\, promotion\, regulatory approval\, or any other specific outcome. This training is educational and informational\, and is not legal\, compliance\, or engineering advice.
