Knowledge Training
Bridge the knowledge gap between organizations and assessors with Knowledge Training. These courses are designed to help learners speak the same language as the Assessor, guide their organization through an assessment and any pre-work and work alongside the Assessor during an engagement makes for a much smoother, more efficient process for all involved. Knowledge Training fills the knowledge gap by providing learning opportunities for individuals to take the same training and exam as the Assessor. Upon successful completion of training and the exam, learners will be given an acknowledgement of completion as well as have the option to opt-in to receiving a digital badge.
Knowledge Training is open to anyone who wishes to obtain additional knowledge of our standards and programs. A learner receiving a Knowledge Training acknowledgment are not qualified to perform PCI SSC related assessment or services. They now have demonstrated they have the knowledge and language to speak internally and externally to their organization about a specific version of a standard and program.
