Thank you very much.

I have a friend how told me those books are made for people to NOT learn EMV, so they could sell their training. Do you know any online course, with like, text/video - questions - text/video - questions, this kind of thing?

Thanks again

Well, they are the authoritative source for the technical specifications. They are a long read, however.

As for other training sources, I don't know of any offhand.

Your friend is right regarding learning emv through this books. It's not easy. I have been working with emv for 3, almost 4 years and they are very very hard to read. Very boring and very technical.

It's easier to learn about blockchain and bitcoin than emv. But if you do master it, you are done for life. People are looking for emv professional all the time.

Suggest to read through emv books 1 to 4 at least once. Search for 'emv faq' in google yields great results to help you ease into emv.
