Is this course for me?

This course was created for professionals such as accountants and lawyers, who want a basic introduction to how a blockchain works. So many people have asked me which courses they should do to gain a better understanding of blockchain technology, but most courses were either geared towards developers or far too high level where they didn’t cover the practical areas you would use in your business.

This course is designed to give you a fundamental understanding, so you are comfortable with the concepts, whether you must use them in your work or anywhere else.

It's broken down in to two sections: Firstly, we’ll help you gain a fundamental understanding of the technology through a practical example of a transaction, running through all the steps in the process as we perform the transaction. Secondly, we’ll cover specific topics just to give you an introduction to exchange, custody, KYC/AML, DeFi and a few other topics.

By the end of this 2-hour training, you will have a solid understanding of blockchains as well as some of the fundamental concepts around them. Once you have successfully completed the course and short assessments you will also be issued with a CPE certificate.

I found it difficult to learn about the basics of blockchain until I watched this learning. Petri explains it in a simple and easy format and makes it very understandable especially for someone whose knowledge was very sporadic. An excellent course which answers your questions and provides you with the tools to further your knowledge and understanding after completion. Will highly recommend to anyone who wants to learn more about blockchain!

I've been trying to find something that would explain it to me without getting too technical and it felt like every time I searched for explanations it went way over my head. Petri explained everything in such a good way and I now feel so much more comfortable! Definitely worth it!

The content was presented in an understandable way and covered the necessary basics of blockchain technology, as well as more specific topics (types of wallets, regulation, custody). I found the course helpful to make more deliberate investment decisions.
