Blockchain Training Alliance (BTA) has been providing Blockchain training and certification globally since 2017. BTA is seeking to create a Substrate-specific course that will allow developers to learn how to effectively build on Polkadot. The partnership provides new developers from the Web2 space to learn Polkdadot technology and increase developer activity within the Polkadot ecosystem.

Course Overview:

In this course students will learn how the Polkadot platform works, from an understanding of the governance and treasury process to hands-on lab environments for writing code. Technologies covered in this course are Polkadotjs, Substrate, WASMI, libp2p and Rust and more. Whether students want to add to their blockchain skills for career prospects or want to learn how to build a blockchain solution that has ability to communicate with multiple blockchains into a single network, this course will be the ideal fit.

This Substrate-specific training course, 20 hours in length, which will be available at no cost on the BTA website for any interested students to enroll into.

Certification

An exam for certification will be available at the end of the training course. Getting certified will demonstrate students have the skills needed to build applications and solutions on Polkadot.

This proposal aims to boost decentralized finance (DeFi) education in Latin America through three key phases: conducting a free pilot course on DeFi, launching a paid pilot course to test a sustainable academy model, and creating the first comprehensive DeFi book for the Polkadot ecosystem in Latin America. Led by MacZam, the project seeks to provide accessible education, evaluate a self-sustaining business model, increase Latin American representation in Polkadot, promote awareness of Polkadot, identify talents, and distribute educational materials across the region. Through these initiatives, the proposal wants to empower individuals and communities, enhance transparency, promote innovation, and democratize access to financial services in Latin America.
