Program
OpenSSL curriculum: 3 modules over 3 days
Module 1 : OpenSSL Key Generation and CSR: Automations and Validations (CLI Tools, Bash Scripts)
Dive into creating advanced RSA/ECDSA key pairs with OpenSSL, generate CSRs compliant with CA standards, validate configurations through practical exercises on real Linux servers, automate processes with custom bash scripts, test key robustness against common attacks, produce a ready-to-use enterprise certificate kit with full documentation.
Module 2 : PKI Management and OpenSSL Encryption: Private CAs and TLS Protocols (OCSP, CRL, HSM)
Set up a private OpenSSL certification authority for mass certificate signing, implement revocation via CRL and OCSP, explore symmetric/asymmetric encryption for sensitive data, integrate HSM modules for hardware security, handle real enterprise cases such as securing a Kubernetes cluster, generate GDPR compliance audit reports.
Module 3 : OpenSSL Optimization and Troubleshooting: Production Integration and Attacks (Heartbleed, POODLE)
Optimize TLS 1.3 cipher suites with OpenSSL for maximum performance without compromising security, diagnose leaks using s_client and sslyze, simulate and mitigate attacks like Heartbleed or POODLE on vulnerable environments, deploy configurations in CI/CD with Docker, finalize the red thread project for a secure infrastructure, export ready-to-use configurations for operations.

OpenSSL training: access and practical arrangements
The Training OpenSSL - Secure Certificates and TLS Communications program is delivered onsite or remote (blended-learning, virtual classroom, remote presence). At Learni, an industry-certified training organization, every program is built to maximize skills acquisition regardless of the chosen format.
The trainer alternates between demonstrative, interrogative and active methods (through hands-on labs and/or scenarios). This pedagogical approach guarantees concrete learning that's immediately applicable at work.
Equipment required
For the smooth delivery of the Training OpenSSL - Secure Certificates and TLS Communications program, the following equipment is required:
- Mac or PC computers, high-speed fiber internet, whiteboard or flipchart, projector or interactive touch screen (for remote sessions)
- Training environments installed on workstations or accessible online
- Course materials, hands-on exercises and complementary resources
- Post-training access to materials and educational resources
For intra-company training on a site outside Learni, the client commits to providing all required teaching materials (computers, internet, etc.) for the smooth delivery of the program in line with the prerequisites in the communicated program.

Our method
How Learni guarantees the quality of your OpenSSL training
Before, during, after: we frame the brief, introduce the trainer, tailor the content and measure impact. You stay in control from kickoff to wrap-up.
You meet the trainer beforehand
30-minute video call between you and the selected trainer to validate the fit, adjust content and clear any final doubts.
- Live briefing on goals and team context.
- Veto right — we swap the trainer for free if needed.
Content tailored to your context
No recycled slides. The syllabus is reworked from your real cases: tools, constraints, vocabulary, ongoing projects.
- Hands-on cases drawn from your stack and projects.
- Program co-written then validated by your team.
Continuous quality follow-up
Live evaluations, 30/90/180-day check-ins and a consolidation plan. If the impact misses the mark, we rework it.
- NPS, knowledge quizzes and skills self-assessment.
- Satisfaction guarantee: fully satisfied or free rework.
A simple promise: you don't pay to discover the trainer on day one. Everything is validated upfront, by you.
Our social commitment
A school kit donated to a child for every training booked
To fight inequalities in access to education, Learni donates a complete school kit to a child in need for every training booked. You build your skills, a child heads back to school.
- Backpack, notebooks and essential supplies
- Distributed through our partner charities
- Included, at no extra cost to you
FAQ
OpenSSL: frequently asked questions
Which tools are used in OpenSSL training?+
Hands-on work runs on CLI Tools, bash Scripts, OCSP, CRL, HSM and heartbleed. Those tools come from the OpenSSL program itself, delivered on site over 3 days, so participants practise on the stack they will use at work.
What can participants do after OpenSSL training?+
They can master advanced OpenSSL commands for generating and managing professional certificates, implement secure internal PKIs tailored to enterprise needs and develop OpenSSL automation scripts for production deployment. Those are the stated objectives of the OpenSSL program at Advanced level, checked by the end-of-session assessment.
What does the OpenSSL program cover, day by day?+
Day 1: OpenSSL Key Generation and CSR: Automations and Validations (CLI Tools, Bash Scripts). Day 2: PKI Management and OpenSSL Encryption: Private CAs and TLS Protocols (OCSP, CRL, HSM). Day 3: OpenSSL Optimization and Troubleshooting: Production Integration and Attacks (Heartbleed, POODLE). The OpenSSL program runs over 3 days, delivered on site.
How is OpenSSL training assessed?+
Assessment relies on technical MCQ on OpenSSL commands and TLS protocols, practical case studies with diagnosis of real configurations and defense of personal PKI project before the expert trainer. Learni issues a completion certificate together with the individual assessment report at the end of the OpenSSL program, which an L&D team can file as evidence.
How much does OpenSSL training cost per participant?+
OpenSSL training costs $4,725 per participant. For an in-company team, the flat rate starts at $8,558 for the whole group, up to 8 people. AWS, Azure or OVH infrastructure is extra, from $158 per day. The detailed quote, sent within one business day, adjusts the amount to the format and how far the syllabus is tailored to your team.
How long does OpenSSL training take?+
3 days, available live online (US time zones) or on-site at your offices. Half-day tracks spread over several weeks are possible so the team stays operational.
Who pays for OpenSSL training?+
Most US teams pay directly through their company L&D or training budget. Learni invoices in US dollars and accepts bank transfer (ACH/wire) or card, with volume pricing for teams. A purchase order is welcome.
What do participants need to know before OpenSSL training?+
Mastery of Linux/Unix, basics in asymmetric cryptography and SSL/TLS certificate management.
Is a certificate issued after OpenSSL training?+
Yes. A Learni completion certificate is issued, along with the individual evaluation report. Learni is a certified training provider and prepares for third-party certifications, but does not award them itself.
Does Learni provide the equipment for OpenSSL training?+
No. A computer and a stable internet connection are required for each participant. Learni provides the learning platform, the trainer and all course materials.
