Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need programming experience for this course?

While the first two modules are designed for beginners, modules 3-5 require basic programming knowledge. We recommend having experience with at least one programming language (JavaScript recommended) to get the most out of the smart contract development sections.

What tools will I need?

You'll need a computer with internet access. We'll guide you through installing necessary development tools like Node.js, Truffle, Ganache, and MetaMask. All software used in the course is open-source and free.

Will I receive a certificate upon completion?

Yes, you will receive a verified certificate of completion that you can share on LinkedIn and include in your resume. The certificate also includes a unique blockchain-based credential that can be independently verified.

How long will it take to complete the course?

The course includes approximately 40 hours of video content and another 20-30 hours of exercises and projects. Most students complete it in 6-8 weeks studying part-time, but you can learn at your own pace.

Is there any hands-on project work?

Yes! The course includes several practical projects including creating your own cryptocurrency token, writing and deploying smart contracts, and building a complete decentralized application (DApp) from frontend to blockchain backend.
