For academic institutions
Give your students a W3CB certification alongside their studies.
Business schools, engineering faculties and continuing education units use The Web3 Academy to add Web3, blockchain and FinTech training that ends in an employer-recognized W3CB certification — without new faculty lines or a curriculum you have to keep rebuilding.
The problem
What we hear most often
Faculty capacity is the bottleneck
Interest is rarely the problem. Finding faculty who can build and keep refreshing the material is.
The material changes every term
Curriculum written two years ago describes a market that no longer exists.
Employers want signal
Students need a credential hiring managers recognize, not just a transcript line.
What you get
A certification students can take to employers
An independent, verifiable certification
Students who pass hold a W3CB certification that employers can check — a signal that travels beyond your transcript.
Courses ready for your catalog
Delivered by our faculty or licensed to yours, and mapped to your program learning outcomes before committee review.
Faculty enablement included
Train-the-trainer sessions, instructor guides and worked solutions so your own faculty can teach from term one.
Curriculum that stays current
Maintained by practitioner faculty and refreshed twice a year, so you are not rebuilding the syllabus every term.
How it works
From request to certified team
01
Tell us who needs certifying
Your people, their roles, and which W3CB certifications they need.
02
The Web3 Academy trains them
Courses for each certification, delivered live, self-paced or blended — privately, licensed to you, or under your brand.
03
They get W3CB certified
Each learner sits the proctored W3CB exam on a seat already included in the price, and W3CB issues the certification.
Certifications

- Will the material survive curriculum committee?

- What if our faculty have never taught this material?
- Train-the-trainer sessions are included, along with annotated instructor guides and worked solutions, so existing faculty can deliver from term one.
- How quickly can we launch?
