The accredited course is "only the tip of the iceberg regarding the implementation of the blockchain …", says co-founder Nathan Burns.
The Australian organization of the cryptocurrency Blockchain Collective will soon launch its Advanced Blockchain Applied Diploma: the first blockchain course of the Australian Skills Quality Authority "fully accredited".
As reported by the Bitcoin Exchange Guide, the organization states that the course will consist of "eight models, with six main modules and two more electives". According to the co-founder of Blockchain Collective Nathan Burns, it will be taught through "registered training organizations", intensive learning retreats, online lessons or mixed learning. "
"I feel that the times are comparable to the World Wide Web in the early 90. And today, 55% of the world's population has access to the Internet and uses it daily." Imagine where we will be in the next 10-20 years, now c & # 39; is an accredited course. "Burns stated in a statement.
The course aims to teach students a range of business and development skills, including how to establish and develop an operational framework for a blockchain network, develop a business model and analyze its performance.
This is not entirely the first blockchain course to be announced by Australia. This came from RMIT University at the start of this year, announcing an eight-week course focusing on blockchain strategies and applications. It is open to both students and the public, as long as they are willing to pay $ 1,500 AUD per session.
According to RMIT Online CEO Helen Souness, the blockchain "will play a fundamental role in the future of the business, with its application already prevalent in many sectors such as finance, government, energy and health care".
This is something on which Burns seems to be agreeing, also stating that the Applied Blockchain Advanced Diploma is "just the tip of the iceberg as far as the implementation of distributed blockchain and ledger technologies is concerned".
Could we see more blockchain support in the educational sphere in the near future?
