Review on Blockchain Training Alliance by Douglas Cachazo
Blockchain Training Alliance: Academy with unconventional courses.
Interesting but extremely expensive academy that touches on unconventional topics that are usually offered by most companies of this type, since the vast majority focus on courses for traders and making money with cryptocurrencies.
This academy covers interesting topics and is taught by expert instructors, some of them online, others are face-to-face. The most interesting topic is undoubtedly the Ethereum blockchain and hyperledger, for those who do not know the term hyperledger I clarify that it is a whole platform created by Linux open source in which framework or rather work tools are developed for use by developers, facilitates the task to developers exclusively under blockchain technologies.
In broad strokes we can describe some of the most relevant courses that are in this interesting and important academy. All of them are pre recorded and certified
There is a free course on blockchain technology oriented to company executives to evaluate the usefulness of blockchain technologies in their companies, although it is free, it has as a prerequisite to have taken another paid course.
Two very interesting Blockchain courses oriented to developers, duration 20 hours at a cost of 295 dollars and another one on ethereum platform. Also for developers, same duration and price.
Hyperledger foundation courses duration 5 days at a cost of 3,100 dollars, Hyperledger development 2 days at 1,895 dollars.
The rest of the courses all for developers over 15 courses whose costs range from $185 to $3,000.
As an IT professional and developer, I consider very important all these courses, they contribute a lot to the blockchain, unfortunately the costs are excessive, at least for any developer here in my country. There are two courses that I will try to take as I consider them necessary for my training, however I will evaluate other academies to see if I find a better option. I do not doubt that anyone can advance on their own but undoubtedly the learning curve will be slower and more complex and you will not have a certificate, which is important. A developer in blockchain technologies is seen literally speaking as a rare bird, which is why it is very well remunerated in the job market, either labor or freelance.
Pros
- Important developer oriented courses
- Good learning material and good pre recorded courses
- Certified courses after passing exam
- Good contribution to blockchain by training developers
- Pre-recorded courses can be viewed repeatedly.
Cons
- Excessively expensive courses
