FYI Berkeley offers two free courses with free certification on Blockchain tech

Originally posted over a year ago. Thought I’d repost for those new to the scene who are interested.

Berkeley offers 4 courses on the subject, all free to access, 2 with certificates. Berkeley has been involved with blockchain a bit longer than MIT, and having taken the MIT Sloan course and Berkeley edX courses myself I can say that Berkeley is quite a bit more informative on the cryptocurrency and the technical side of things.

2 are courses are offered through edX that have optional paid certificates available.

2 are courses they offer through University that have publicly accessible course materials on their decal page.

The first two are part of a larger EdX “ Professional Certificate in Blockchain Fundamentals”. In includes both classes and a larger “Professional” certification for $178. Each class is available independently with individual certifications for $99. Both classes can be “audited” for free, giving you access to the educational materials: https://www.edx.org/professional-certificate/uc-berkeleyx-blockchain-fundamentals

The second is a couple of “student run” accredited classes on-campus with Berkley, but the educational materials are available for free for anyone. Archives to multiple semesters available: https://blockchain.berkeley.edu/courses/archive/
