eIDAS.PROFESSIONAL Training

Our eIDAS.PROFESSIONAL training teaches you the basic and advanced content of the eIDAS Regulation 910/2014 (version 2024/1183), important elements of the relevant ETSI standards, the most important trust services and also optimally prepares you for the examination aspects of the eIDAS conformity assessment. Both parts of the eIDAS.PROFESSIONAL training conclude with an optional exam, which tests and confirms the knowledge acquired.

The training course and the training documents provided are held in English due to the existing standardisation language.

The eIDAS.PROFESSIONAL training is divided into 2 training parts.

The three-day eIDAS.PROFESSIONAL Essential offers you an introduction to the structure and history of the eIDAS Regulation, as well as an insight into Chapter I (General Provisions) and Chapter III (Trust Services). You will learn about all the trust services associated with eIDAS, receive an overview of the various services and an introduction to the ETSI standards structure, including ETSI EN 319 401 and ETSI EN 319 411-1/2. We will also help you understand the hierarchy of the eIDAS legal framework and explain the basic options for identification. We also provide you with general information about the EUDI wallet.

We recommend our eIDAS.PROFESSIONAL Advanced training course for an in-depth look at the content of the verification and certification scheme as part of eIDAS.

The eIDAS.PROFESSIONAL Advanced, which also lasts three days, first briefly repeats the core statements of eIDAS.PROFESSIONAL Essentials for you, including an introduction to the structure of eIDAS as well as a definition of trust services and a detailed overview of the various services. In addition, we offer you an introduction and in-depth look at the topics of certificates, signatures, seals and time stamps in accordance with the eIDAS Regulation.

In addition, we offer you an insight into the TÜV NORD certification scheme as well as a detailed explanation of the general requirements for auditors and authorisation requirements in relation to ETSI EN 319 403. We highlight for you the instances involved and the necessary interaction, outline the typical process of a conformity assessment and offer recommendations for action as well as a clear procedure in an audit. Finally, we explain the requirements and the scheme that apply to TÜV NORD test reports.
