Build Real Blockchain Skills

Our consortium blockchain program starts in September 2025. You'll work with actual distributed systems and learn how enterprise networks function. No shortcuts, no empty promises—just hands-on technical training.

Different Ways to Learn, Same Deep Understanding

Some people learn best by building things immediately. Others need theory first. We get that—so our September 2025 cohort includes multiple learning tracks. You pick what works for your brain.

All tracks cover the same core concepts. Byzantine fault tolerance, consensus mechanisms, node architecture. But how you approach them varies. Think of it like learning a language through immersion versus textbooks—different methods, same fluency goal.

And here's what matters: you can switch tracks midway if something isn't clicking. We've had students start with practical labs and migrate to theory modules when they needed deeper context. That flexibility actually helps retention.

What You'll Actually Study

We spent three years refining this curriculum with feedback from people working at actual blockchain companies in Taiwan and Singapore. These modules reflect what professionals need to know.

01

Network Fundamentals

Peer-to-peer architecture, gossip protocols, and how nodes actually communicate. You'll configure test networks and troubleshoot connection failures.

02

Consensus Design

Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance, Raft, and why different consortiums choose different mechanisms. Includes implementing a basic consensus algorithm.

03

Smart Contract Development

Writing, testing, and deploying contracts for permissioned networks. Focus on security patterns and gas optimization techniques that matter in production.

04

Identity Management

How permissioned blockchains handle authentication, role-based access, and credential verification. You'll configure membership service providers.

05

Performance Analysis

Transaction throughput, latency measurement, and bottleneck identification. Learn to benchmark consortium networks and interpret performance data.

06

Integration Patterns

Connecting blockchain networks to existing enterprise systems. API design, data synchronization strategies, and handling legacy infrastructure constraints.

Schedule That Fits Your Life

The program runs for eight months starting September 2025. Most students balance it with work—our schedule was designed around that reality. Core sessions happen twice weekly in evenings, plus lab access whenever you need it.

  • Evening sessions: Tuesday and Thursday, 6:30-9:00 PM
  • Weekend labs: Optional Saturday sessions for hands-on work
  • Recorded lectures: Available if you miss a live session
  • Self-paced modules: Theory content you can review anytime
