Certifications

Six W3CB certifications. We train your people for every one.

Each certification has a set of Web3 Academy courses that prepare learners for the proctored W3CB exam; the exam seat is included in the training price and W3CB issues the certification. Web3+ is the foundation of the FinTech pathway — FinTech+, then FinTech+ II, then Financial Advisor+. Blockchain+ and Mining+ have no prerequisite.
