Learn post-quantum cryptography, earn a verifiable credential
Structured courses that take you from the quantum threat to a real migration, then prove it with an exam and a tamper-proof, LinkedIn-ready credential.

A track is a named group of courses in the order we would teach them. Take one end to end, or ignore them entirely and pick courses one at a time below.
Post-quantum migration
Start with the decisions a migration actually turns on, then find the cryptography you already run, replace the surface most exposed to it, and leave the system able to change algorithm again without another project behind it. Four courses in roughly the order a real engagement runs.
- Step 1Post-Quantum Practitioner
- Step 2Cryptographic Inventory and Discovery
- Step 3TLS, Certificates and Hybrid Key Exchange
- Step 4Crypto-Agility Engineering
4 courses
Security awareness
Three short courses covering the attacks that reach staff directly. Accounts and passwords come first, because credentials are what gets stolen, then phishing, then the wider social engineering playbook that phishing is only one part of. No prior security knowledge assumed.
- Step 1Account & Password Security Essentials
- Step 2Phishing Attacks & Defense
- Step 3Social Engineering: Recognize & Resist
3 courses
IT and platform
For the people who operate identity and transport on behalf of everyone else. Password policy, IAM and MFA at scale first, then the certificate and key exchange surface those identities travel over, then a full cryptographic inventory so nothing keeps running unnoticed.

- Step 2TLS, Certificates and Hybrid Key Exchange
- Step 3Cryptographic Inventory and Discovery

Leadership briefing
The harvest now, decrypt later briefing explains why traffic recorded today is a liability tomorrow, in the language of risk and budget rather than cryptography. The practitioner course follows for anyone who wants the technical grounding behind the decision they just signed off.

Account & Password Security Essentials
The practical, do-it-now habits that keep your work and personal accounts out of the wrong hands: strong passphrases, a password manager, multi-factor authentication, passkeys, and knowing what to do if something goes wrong.

Crypto-Agility Engineering
The migration you are running now is not the last one. This course teaches engineers to build systems that can change cryptographic algorithms again without another multi-year project: negotiation over hard-coding, versioned ciphertext, downgrade resistance, lifecycle automation, machine-readable declarations, and the organizational structures that keep agility funded. Pass the exam to earn the Crypto-Agility Engineer credential.

Cryptographic Inventory and Discovery
The discipline of finding out what cryptography you actually run before you try to change it: the sources of truth and how each one lies, scanning versus probing, the CBOM, classifying findings by algorithm and exposure, prioritizing with the harvest-now-decrypt-later lens, and keeping the inventory alive as state rather than a report. Pass the exam to earn the Cryptographic Inventory Specialist credential.

Harvest Now, Decrypt Later: A Briefing for Decision Makers
A short, non-technical briefing for the people who authorize budget. What harvest-now-decrypt-later actually means, why the decision does not depend on predicting quantum computers, which of your data is genuinely exposed, what regulators are starting to ask, what a realistic migration programme costs, and how to tell a real plan from theatre. Pass the exam to earn the Quantum Risk: Executive Briefing credential.

IT Administration: Password Policy, IAM & MFA at Scale
The policy-definer's and administrator's deep dive: designing password policy to NIST SP 800-63B, mapping CISA guidance to your org, deploying enterprise password managers, rolling out phishing-resistant multi-factor authentication, building identity and access management, running an ongoing training program, managing mobile devices, and responding to credential compromise. Pass the exam to earn the IT Password & Identity Administrator credential.

Phishing Attacks & Defense
A practical, drill-oriented course for all staff on recognizing, reporting, and surviving phishing: from bulk email and spear phishing to smishing, vishing, quishing, and business email compromise. Learn the tells, the reporting reflex, and the technical defenses that actually stop attacks. Pass the exam to earn the Phishing Defender credential.

Post-Quantum Practitioner
The end-to-end path from the quantum threat to a real migration: the standards, the deadlines, inventory, hybrid key exchange, crypto-agility, and conformance. Pass the exam to earn the Certified Post-Quantum Practitioner credential.

Social Engineering: Recognize & Resist
The attacks that target people, not machines. Learn the psychology attackers exploit, the shape of a real social-engineering operation, and the verification habits that stop it. Pass the exam to earn the Social Engineering Aware credential.

TLS, Certificates and Hybrid Key Exchange
The migration surface where most organizations meet post-quantum cryptography first: the TLS 1.3 handshake and exactly which parts a quantum computer threatens, hybrid key exchange and what X25519MLKEM768 really is, certificate chains and why they migrate slower than key exchange, shrinking lifetimes and automation, certificate managers, middlebox ossification, and measuring what your endpoints actually negotiate. Pass the exam to earn the TLS and Hybrid Key Exchange Specialist credential.

Frequently asked questions
What do the courses cover?
Post-quantum cryptography and everyday security, from the quantum threat and a real migration to account security, IAM and MFA, social engineering, and phishing defense. Each course ends in an exam.
What do I get at the end?
A verifiable, tamper-proof credential you can add to your LinkedIn profile in one click, earned by passing the course exam.
How much do they cost?
They are free while in preview.
How does the exam work?
Each course draws its exam from a question pool, and you need to reach the pass mark, seventy percent on most courses and seventy-five on the advanced IT administration course, to earn the credential.
Do the credentials expire?
Course credentials are valid for twenty-four months, after which you can retake the exam to renew.
Who are the courses for?
They range from beginner tracks like account security, phishing, and social engineering to intermediate and advanced ones like the Post-Quantum Practitioner path and IT password and identity administration at scale, so both non-technical staff and engineers have a track.
