The Polkadot Blockchain Academy has announced the exclusive launch of the PBA-X, aimed to extend the opportunities for receiving Web3 knowledge in the blockchain space. Beginning on January 6, 2025, this program is a part-time, cohort-based online course to be completed within four weeks. It will offer a basic and systematic introduction to blockchain technology, thus aiming at advanced learners worldwide who seek to enter the new intersection called Web3.
Polkadot Offering Flexible and Accessible Web3 Learning
The PBA-X course welcomes participants regardless of experience or technical skills, making it ideal for beginners. The future Polkadot development team, with Dr. Gavin Wood, has created PBA-X, which contains versatile educational content that is easy to grasp. It aligns with Polkadot Blockchain Academy’s standard, but it is more adaptable such that students from around the world can learn anywhere within the four-week schedule.
The core topics include cryptography and blockchain economics, with a focus on Polkadot, its distinct ecosystem, and the general principles of blockchains. The course also enables learners to better themselves with the regulatory framework of concepts and activities pertinent to Polkadot technology. Each module consists of recorded professional lectures, weekly live classes, and multiple-choice tests and quizzes.
Support for Beginner Blockchain Enthusiasts
PBA-X is an educational platform for Web3 basics built to attract non-blockchain enthusiasts. According to Pauline Cohen Vorms, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Polkadot Blockchain Academy, the course is designed to explain that IT specialists need help understanding blockchain. Thus, PBA-X aims to remove barriers to the technology and provide participants with tangible skills that improve their employment prospects in Polkadot and the larger Web3 ecosystem.
Once the course is over, the graduate can take several opportunities in the blockchain field. They may proceed to the self-paced learning or enroll in the on-site Polkadot Blockchain Academy Campus, which offers more advanced and development-oriented lessons. PBA-X helps individuals from different backgrounds feel safe and sound while trying to enter the Web3 world and find a job in the blockchain.
