Chartered blockchain Analyst®

For professionals with backgrounds in enterprise, healthcare, public services, utilities and supply chain

Why becoming a CbA® charterholder

The blockchain market has changed how organisations share and transact data, and individuals perceive data ownership and transparency towards suppliers. New corporate ecosystems and collaborations push innovators to experiment with new business models. At the same time, regulators define boundaries and frameworks for applying this new technology. However, the industry lacks professionals with well-founded knowledge and experience to apply blockchain technology in the right context. The Chartered Blockchain Analyst ® addresses this gap with a holistic certification programme developed with leading academic and industry players.
