The blockchain is of interest to more and more organizations which are integrating it into their strategies. With the exponential growth of digital assets, this new technology offers new development prospects. Discover how to understand its challenges thanks to the École Polytechnique Executive Education which provides the first certifying training, Blockchain Starter Program.
Why and how to train in blockchain?
Media coverage and the rapid growth of cryptocurrencies have brought the blockchain to the fore. Faced with the growing interest in this sector, the École Polytechnique Executive Education has created a training program allowing everyone to discover blockchain technology and its applications: the Blockchain Starter Program. The heads of this course, Daniel Augot and Julien Prat, both professors-researchers at École Polytechnique, are also co-directors of the Blockchain & B2B Platforms chair at École Polytechnique.
In addition to being intended for a wide audience (industry leaders, consultants, representatives of the IT, finance, or innovation professions for example), this program makes it possible to acquire the knowledge as well as the skills needed to implement new features around the blockchain. Participants will address the legal, economic and technological issues of the blockchain. This is an opportunity to assess the potential of this new technology in a professional context.
Based for example on the use case of the very first cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, learners will understand the added value and contributions of the blockchain in its operation.
X’s Blockchain Starter Program, the first certified distance learning course
Training Blockchain Starter Program validates skill block n°3 “Specialized communication for knowledge transfer(RNCP34126BC03) and is eligible for vocational training funding schemes, including the Personal Training Accountor CPF.
Compatible with a professional activity, this program takes place completely remotely. Each week a theme is discussed with videos to watch and exercises to complete. Everyone progresses at their own pace. At the end of the week, all the participants meet during a synchronous session with the speaker who designed the training materials. This moment is rich in interactions and essential to anchor the knowledge worked on throughout the week.
Here are some examples of the topics covered in this program:
- The concepts of cryptography
- What is blockchain consensus?
- The Proof-of-Stake of the Ethereum Blockchain
- The principle of decentralization
So many technical terms that sometimes give a complicated and inaccessible image of the blockchain field. It is therefore an opportunity to learn and take your first steps in this new ecosystem which is constantly developing. Blockchain can and should revolutionize many traditional sectors. Whether for questions of logistics, traceability or directly by giving power back to users through decentralization.
The next school year will take place on Monday, April 3, 2023!
