- Topics include blockchain fundamentals, how the technology works, decentralised networks, consensus mechanisms, smart contracts, security, and typical application areas in business, finance, and digital platforms.
- The course is aimed at IT specialists, project managers, consultants, innovation managers, and decision-makers – especially relevant for projects in Web3, FinTech, supply chain, or data-driven business models.
- A basic understanding of IT, digital systems, and data structures is sufficient. Programming skills are not required – the course focuses on concepts, architecture, and practical application areas.
- Key topics include distributed ledgers, cryptography, consensus mechanisms, smart contracts, and tokenisation – complemented by governance models, security aspects, and typical enterprise use cases.
- The certification confirms internationally recognised foundational knowledge of blockchain. It facilitates project classification, improves cross-departmental communication, and strengthens decision-making in digital innovation contexts.
- Typical application areas include finance, supply chain management, logistics, healthcare, energy trading, and digital identity solutions – with public administration and industry also increasingly exploring blockchain-based processes.
- Smart contracts automate digital agreements on the blockchain. Defined rules execute independently once conditions are met – making processes more transparent, tamper-proof, and efficient.
- Decentralised data structures enable transparent and tamper-proof transactions without a central authority – forming the basis for new digital business models, secure data use, and automated trust systems.
