ABOUT

Do you know the basics of Bitcoin & the Blockchain and want to learn more about this fascinating technology and the opportunities it offers?
 
Bitcoin & blockchain technology has received a lot of attention recently as the technology provides many opportunities and solutions for both financial and non-financial institutions, startups, individuals and governments. The world's largest organisations such as IBM, Deloitte, Microsoft, Santander Bank and Nasdaq, are looking at the blockchain technology as a means to improve their existing services, systems and products. This course helps de-mystify what blockchain is and how organisations can leverage its key features: security, transparency, full life-cycle transaction history, real-time, immutability and cost-efficiency. 
 
The Blockchain Advanced course provides a more in-depth understanding of bitcoin and the blockchain and delves deeper into the concepts covered in the Blockchain Beginner course. It is not essential for attendees to have attended the Blockchain Beginner course, however the Blockchain Advanced course does require attendees to already have a basic understanding of bitcoin and the blockhain.

The course goes further into bitcoin mining, mining pools, bitcoin transactions on the blockchain, software clients and front-ends, service providers that provide wallet services, APIs, payment gateways, explorer services and blockchain as a service.

The course covers many Bitcoin 2.0 topics such as smart contracts, smart property, side chains, decentralised services, world computers, and other exciting and innovative services and opportunities currently being used around the world.

Course attendees will gain an insight into the future of this technology in terms of innovation and disruption of existing traditional systems and processes.
