SINGAPORE, Sept. 19, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- ClickAcademy Asia has launched the Certified Blockchain Professional (CBP) for Business and Government Leaders in Singapore. The course was developed by the International Council of E-Commerce Consultants, also known as EC-Council, one of the world's largest cyber security technical certification bodies.
The Certified Blockchain Professional Programme aims to bring business and government leaders up to speed with blockchain technology, which is one of the fastest growing disciplines. The CBP course consists of three knowledge and competency areas in Blockchain Technology: Development, Implementation and Strategy. The course does not require any technical knowledge and can be attended by professionals for a full 2-day workshop that will lead to the Certified Blockchain Professional qualification and a year's access to the course materials and updates.
The course is accredited by the Institute of Banking and Finance (IBF), which provides course fee support of up to 90%, to support the financial industry and individuals in keeping pace with technology shifts, through continuous and proactive training in order to remain relevant and productive.
The first IBF funded intake is set to start on 7 October 2019.
ClickAcademy Asia's Managing Director, Jefrey Gomez said, "The Certified Blockchain Professional for Business and Government Leaders programme aims to fill the knowledge and the skills gaps in the blockchain industry. Not only does Singapore has a conducive landscape for blockchain technology to flourish, it also has a global reputation as a financial hub, with non-interference by regulators and a growing interest in FinTech. We are already training up blockchain developers, but we also need to make sure that decision makers in organisation are also educated on how blockchain works for their organisations."
IIB Council CEO, Jay Bavisi, said, "EC-Council's CBP Certification was created to train and certify blockchain professionals on the knowledge and skills that are highly in demand for their job role. ClickAcademy Asia shares the same purpose and has helped thousands of professionals upgrade their skills for many years. We trust that they will work well with industry partners to ensure that professionals in blockchain have the right framework, knowledge and skills to build sustainable and scalable blockchain infrastructures for their organisations."
ClickAcademy Asia also runs the 5-day Certified Blockchain Professional programme for programmers and developers, which launched in May 2019 and has course fee funding of up to 90% from Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA).
In addition, National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) members can enjoy 50% unfunded course fee support for up to $250 each year for all ClickAcademy Asia courses, under the Union Training Assistance Programme (UTAP).
