PQC Migration Engineer

For security, platform and cryptography engineers who carry out the migration. Earn PQCS, then learn discovery, hybrid deployment, pipeline automation and delivery in waves.

PQCS is the credential for this role. It validates that you can do the technical work of a migration. PQCS training requires the Post-Quantum Foundation certificate of completion, so we list that course first.

Discovery is usually the first task in a migration, so we list it straight after PQCS. In Cryptographic Discovery, Inventory, and CBOM, you find every place your organization uses cryptography and build a cryptographic bill of materials (CBOM).

Then you make the change. In Hybrid Cryptographic Implementations, you learn to deploy hybrid key exchange and signatures. In PQC Migration for DevSecOps, you add post-quantum checks to your CI/CD pipelines. In PQC Migration: Executing the Waves, you take each wave into production.

Quantum Academy certifications are private, professional credentials issued by Post-Quantum Institute. They are not government-issued licenses, accredited academic degrees, or academic credit, and earning one does not guarantee employment, promotion, or any regulatory outcome. Quantum Academy programs are educational and informational only, and are not legal, compliance, or engineering advice.
