How We Deliver Training

Online on-demand is the fastest way to start. When you enroll, you get the full course immediately. No cohort dates, no waiting, no travel. Lessons combine text, short video segments, diagrams, and exercises. Most of the teaching is in text, so you can move at reading speed, search it, and return to it later as a working reference.

Best for: Professionals balancing training with a full workload, learners who prefer to set their own pace, and anyone who wants to revisit material as often as needed.

How it works: Enroll online and get immediate access. Work through the lessons at your own speed, with knowledge checks along the way. Every course includes 180 days of access from enrollment, and lab environments and exercises stay available throughout.

Included: The complete lesson sequence, knowledge checks, downloadable reference materials you keep after the access period ends, and a certificate of completion. Courses that prepare for a certification are built against the corresponding exam blueprint, so what you study is what the exam covers.

Availability: All courses except the in-person-only Executive Retreat.

In live online training, you learn from an instructor in real time. Cohorts meet over video on scheduled dates and work through the material together. You do the exercises in real time, discuss them with the group, and get answers to your questions as they arise.

Best for: Professionals who want accountability, structure, and direct instructor access, and teams that want to train together without travel.

How it works: Register for a scheduled cohort on the training schedule. Sessions are led by the practitioners who built the curriculum, in classes small enough for genuine interaction. Certification-track cohorts follow the exam blueprint and include dedicated time for exam strategy and how the proctored exam actually runs.

Included: All live sessions and their recordings, the same downloadable materials as the on-demand format, and instructor feedback where a course has graded exercises. Where an on-demand version of the course exists, you also get 180 days of access to it, so you can revisit any topic after the cohort ends.

Availability: All paid courses except the Executive Retreat. If no listed date suits your team, we can run the same course privately on your dates.

Some material is learned best in a room, away from the inbox, alongside peers, with the instructor at the whiteboard. Sessions run as intensive classes, typically one to three days depending on the program, at locations announced on the training schedule.

Best for: Professionals who value immersive, distraction-free learning, hands-on work in a guided lab setting, and the peer network an in-person cohort builds.

How it works: Register for a published date and location. Sessions run in small groups, and the instructor adjusts the examples to the room. A cohort of financial-services engineers takes the material in a different direction than a room of government security assessors. For certification courses, many sessions include a proctored exam sitting in the same week. The course page says so where this is offered.

Included: Printed and digital course materials you keep, lab access, and refreshments. Where an on-demand version of the course exists, you also get 180 days of access to it after the session. In-person is the highest-priced of the three public formats. Each course page shows the figure.

Availability: All paid courses, including the in-person-only Executive Retreat.

When five or more people need the same training, private delivery is usually the better format and often costs less per person. We run any program in our catalog for your organization alone. We can also combine several programs into one engagement. We deliver it online, at your location, or as a hybrid, on dates you choose.

Best for: Organizations training multiple people at once, teams that want examples and exercises grounded in their own environment, and organizations building internal quantum or PQC capability.

How it works: The core curriculum and its standards stay fixed, which is what makes the resulting skills and certifications comparable across organizations. We adapt the rest of each session to your organization. We draw the examples from your sector and write the exercises against your architecture and constraints, under NDA. We schedule around your operational calendar, with options such as split days, half-day blocks, and follow-up clinics. Multi-course programs that cover everything from foundations through certification are priced as a package.

Included: Agreed per engagement, and typically everything the public formats include plus tailored materials. On-demand course access for participants is arranged as part of the engagement. Procurement-friendly documentation, including course outlines, instructor credentials, and standard terms, is available on request.

To arrange private training: Write to training@quantumacademy.com with the course or capability you have in mind, your approximate team size, and preferred timing. We respond with a proposed structure and pricing.

However you train, every certification exam is a proctored assessment. Supervision and location vary by sitting, and we tell you what applies to yours when you book. You sit the exam separately from the training. Where an in-person training session offers a same-week exam sitting, the course page says so.

Most individuals start online on-demand and add a live cohort where the material warrants it. Most certification candidates who can travel prefer the in-person route with the exam in the same week. Most organizations training a full team find private delivery cheaper per person and more useful. Our instructors can use examples from the organization’s own environment.

Scheduled public dates for every live online and in-person session are on the training schedule. If you are unsure which format fits, write to training@quantumacademy.com and we will help you choose.
