For industry associations
Offer your members a path to W3CB certification — under your brand.
Associations use The Web3 Academy to give members co-branded Web3, FinTech, blockchain and mining training that leads to an independent W3CB certification. We run the training; you keep the member relationship and a share of the revenue.
The problem
What we hear most often
Members are being asked about digital assets
Their clients and employers expect answers, and members look to the association to keep them current.
No LMS or faculty to run it
Most associations have neither the platform nor the instructors to run certification training themselves.
Programs have to pay for themselves
A new member benefit needs to earn its keep, not add cost.
What you get
A member benefit that earns its keep
Co-branded training
The training carries your association's brand. The certification is W3CB's, so members hold the same independent credential wherever they trained.
Turnkey delivery
Curriculum, platform, enrollment, instruction and learner support run by us. W3CB runs the exam and issues the certification.
Non-dues revenue
A revenue share on every enrollment, with no upfront platform or faculty investment from the association.
A reason to stay a member
Member-exclusive pricing makes membership the cheaper route to certification.
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.
