Questions & Answers

Find quick answers about our blockchain programs, enrollment process, and technical requirements. We've organized common questions to help you make informed decisions about your learning path.

Program Fundamentals

What blockchain technologies will I learn about in the program?

+
Our curriculum covers private blockchain frameworks including Hyperledger Fabric, R3 Corda, and enterprise Ethereum solutions. You'll explore consensus mechanisms, smart contract development, and network architecture design. The program emphasizes practical implementation rather than cryptocurrency trading.

How long does it take to complete the full program?

+
Most students complete the comprehensive program in 8-12 months when studying part-time. Full-time learners often finish in 6-8 months. The self-paced format allows you to progress according to your schedule and prior technical background.

Do I need prior programming experience to start?

+
While programming experience helps, we designed foundational modules for beginners. The program includes JavaScript and Python basics before advancing to blockchain-specific development. Students with business backgrounds successfully complete the course by dedicating extra time to technical concepts.

What makes private blockchains different from public ones?

+
Private blockchains operate within controlled networks with restricted access, making them suitable for enterprise applications. They offer faster transaction speeds, greater privacy, and regulatory compliance compared to public networks. Our program focuses on these enterprise-ready solutions.

Enrollment & Support

When do new cohorts begin throughout 2025?

+
We start new cohorts every two months. Upcoming start dates include March 15, May 20, July 15, September 10, and November 5, 2025. Early registration opens six weeks before each start date, allowing time for technical setup and orientation materials.

What kind of support do students receive during the program?

+
Each student gets assigned a technical mentor for one-on-one guidance. We maintain active discussion forums, weekly virtual office hours, and peer study groups. Our support team responds to technical questions within 24 hours during business days.

Are there flexible payment options available?

+
We offer monthly payment plans spreading costs over 6 or 12 months. Corporate training packages include volume discounts for teams of 5 or more. Individual scholarships are available based on need and academic merit, reviewed quarterly.

Can I transfer between different program tracks?

+
Students can switch between developer and analyst tracks within the first four weeks of starting. After completing foundational modules, you can add specialization tracks for additional fees. We encourage discussing track changes with your mentor before making decisions.

Technical Requirements

What computer specifications do I need for the coursework?

+
Minimum requirements include 8GB RAM, 256GB storage, and a dual-core processor from 2018 or newer. We recommend 16GB RAM for running multiple blockchain nodes simultaneously. Both Windows and macOS work well, though Linux provides the most authentic development environment.

Which development tools and software will I use?

+
The program uses Visual Studio Code, Docker containers, and Git version control. You'll work with Hyperledger Composer, Truffle Suite, and various blockchain testing frameworks. All software is freely available, and we provide detailed installation guides for each platform.

Do I need special internet connectivity for blockchain development?

+
Stable broadband connection with 25 Mbps download speed works well for most activities. Video lectures and live sessions require consistent connectivity. Some advanced modules involve syncing blockchain networks, which benefits from faster upload speeds.

Will I get access to cloud development environments?

+
Yes, students receive cloud workspace access through our partnership with AWS and IBM Cloud. These environments come pre-configured with necessary tools and blockchain networks. Cloud access continues for three months after program completion for portfolio development.
