The core topics include cryptography and blockchain economics, with a focus on Polkadot, its specific ecosystem and the general principles of blockchains. The course also enables students to improve themselves with the regulatory framework of concepts and activities relevant to Polkadot technology. Each module consists of recorded professional lectures, weekly live lessons and multiple-choice tests and quizzes.
Support for beginning Blockchain enthusiasts
PBA-X is an educational platform for Web3 basics, built to attract non-blockchain enthusiasts. According to Pauline Cohen Vorms, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Polkadot Blockchain Academy, the course is intended to explain that IT specialists need help to understand blockchain. Thus, PBA-X aims to remove barriers to technology and provide participants with tangible skills that will improve their employment prospects in Polkadot and the greater Web3 ecosystem.
Once the course is over, the graduate can pursue various opportunities in the field of blockchain. They can continue learning at their own pace or enroll in the on-site Polkadot Blockchain Academy Campus, which offers more advanced and developmental classes. PBA-X helps individuals from different backgrounds feel safe and healthy as they try to enter the Web3 world and find a job in the blockchain.
