Foundations of Quantum Computing with IBM Qiskit
FoundationsQuantum Computing
Practical command of quantum circuit development with IBM Qiskit — from qubits and gates through execution on real IBM Quantum hardware, and encoding real optimization problems for a hybrid classical–quantum solver.
Key Topics Covered:
- Qubits, superposition and the Born rule — a quantum state as a normalized vector, and global vs. relative phase
- The Qiskit SDK: building a quantum circuit and running it two ways — exact statevector and sampled shots
- Single-qubit gates as unitary matrices, and placing an arbitrary state on the Bloch sphere with rotation gates
- Multi-qubit circuits, controlled gates and entanglement — Bell and GHZ states, and why entanglement is the source of the advantage
- Measurement in the computational basis: shots, sampling error, and estimating expectation values from counts
- Running on real IBM Quantum hardware — transpiling to a device's basis gates and coupling map, recognizing noise, and the error-mitigation levers
- Foundational quantum algorithms: oracles and phase kickback, Deutsch–Jozsa, Bernstein–Vazirani, and Grover search
- Encoding an optimization problem as a QUBO — cost functions over binary variables, hard constraints as penalties — and mapping it to an Ising Hamiltonian
- Quantum optimization with QAOA: the cost and mixer ansatz, the hybrid quantum–classical loop, and how circuit depth trades against solution quality
- Classical optimization with OR-Tools CP-SAT as an honest baseline — and judging when classical is simply the right tool
- Hybrid decision intelligence: routing sub-problems between classical and quantum solvers, classical warm-starts, and merging sub-solutions into one plan
- Delivering a working decision-intelligence engine end to end — ingesting data, optimizing with a hybrid solver, and emitting an explained mission plan
Ideal For:
Software and data engineers, optimization and operations-research practitioners, and R&D technologists evaluating where quantum methods belong in production decision systems.

Foundations of Agentic Automation with n8n
FoundationsAgentic Automation with n8n
Build, secure, and operate AI-driven automation workflows in n8n — from triggers and integrations to agentic tool use and human-in-the-loop review.
Key Topics Covered:
- n8n fundamentals: nodes, triggers, connections, and workflow execution
- Connecting APIs, webhooks, and third-party services
- Building agentic workflows that call AI models and use tools
- Data mapping, expressions, and transforming payloads between nodes
- Error handling, retries, logging, and human-in-the-loop approval steps
- Credential hygiene, data privacy, and secure deployment of automations
- Testing, deploying, and monitoring workflows in production
Ideal For:
Operations, IT, and business-process professionals — automation engineers, ops managers, and analysts — who build and run the AI-driven workflows their organization depends on

Accounting Process Mapping for Agentic Systems
FoundationsAgentic Accounting Systems
Map the accounting pipeline an automated system runs — from source transactions through recognition to financial statements — and write the multi-entity rules it applies down to authority: cited, effective-dated, and provably findable by the system that must apply them.
Key Topics Covered:
- The automated accounting pipeline: ingestion → recognition → statements → tax mapping → forms
- Process mapping in BPMN 2.0 — swimlanes, gateways, events, and trust boundaries
- Transaction ingestion and completeness across bank, card, brokerage, and manual sources
- Multi-entity attribution: which entity a transaction belongs to, and why
- Shared costs, management fees, allocations, and intercompany transactions as related-party arrangements
- Transaction categorization against a chart of accounts
- Recognition treatment as explicit, testable rules — R&D capitalization, stock compensation, revenue recognition, investment income
- Authoring a rule corpus for retrieval: citation, authority hierarchy, chunking, effective dates
- Proving a rule is findable: adversarial retrieval against a corpus you wrote, and the worked example that shows the treatment is right
- Trial balance to financial statements, per entity and consolidated — and why statements are derived, never configured
Ideal For:
Accounting and finance professionals serving venture-funded companies and family offices — family office controllers, fund and entity accountants, startup controllers and fractional CFOs, client accounting services and tax staff at the firms that serve them, and the tax managers who sign the entity returns — who are accountable for accounting work that automated systems now perform, and who need to specify it and write down the rules it applies rather than take its output on trust.

Foundations of the NIST AI Risk Management Framework
FoundationsAI Risk Management
Govern, map, measure, and manage AI risk under NIST AI RMF 1.0 — turning the framework's four functions into the controls, evidence, and documented decisions an organization can defend to an auditor or a regulator.
Key Topics Covered:
- What the AI RMF is and is not: its scope, its voluntary posture, and how it relates to ISO/IEC 42001, the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, and the NIST Privacy Framework
- The characteristics of trustworthy AI, and the real trade-offs between them
- GOVERN: policies, accountable roles, escalation paths, and setting a risk tolerance before a model is chosen
- MAP: establishing an AI system's context, intended use, foreseeable misuse, and the parties it can harm
- MEASURE: selecting metrics and evaluation methods proportionate to risk — and naming what cannot be measured
- MANAGE: prioritizing and treating AI risk, monitoring deployed systems, and deciding when a system must not ship
- Third-party and supply-chain AI risk: foundation models, vendor components, and risk you inherit without evidence
- The Generative AI Profile (NIST AI 600-1): the risks unique to generative systems and the actions it prescribes
- Authoring an AI RMF Profile tailored to a sector, a use case, and an organization's risk appetite
- Documentation and audit trail: the artifacts that make an AI risk decision defensible after the fact
- Incident response, post-deployment monitoring, drift, and decommissioning an AI system
- Making the assurance case: presenting an AI risk assessment to auditors, regulators, and customers
Ideal For:
Risk, compliance, and security professionals accountable for AI systems in production — AI governance leads, model risk managers, internal auditors, privacy and security officers, and the engineering and product leads who must produce the evidence a governance program runs on

Every certification comes with a verifiable credential
The certification is the qualification you earn. The credential is the proof you earned it — a signed, tamper-evident digital record that stands on its own, no phone call to us required.
Cryptographically signed
Every credential is issued as an Open Badges 3.0 Verifiable Credential, signed by the National Center for Secure AI Education under a did:web identity. Alter a single character and the signature no longer checks out.
Independently verifiable
An employer or admissions office can check a credential on their own, without contacting us. Verification also checks whether the credential is still live, so a revoked or expired one can never present as valid.
Yours to share
Each credential has its own page, a badge you can add to LinkedIn, and a printable sheet. You decide whether it is listed in our public directory — the verification link always works for anyone you hand it to.
