Nex-G Innovations

The objective of the EMV Terminal Testing & Approval Training is to equip participants with the knowledge and skills required to effectively test and certify EMV payment terminals according to global standards. This includes understanding the EMV transaction flow, mastering the different levels of EMV testing (Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3), and ensuring compliance with technical, security, and functional requirements.

Participants will learn how to execute and troubleshoot physical, electrical, and software tests, ensuring that the terminal operates seamlessly in real-world payment environments and passes the certification process from EMVCo and other payment schemes.
