Certified Blockchain Developer – Ethereum (CBDE)

Top SIX Reasons to take the CBDE exam now. Let’s Get Started!

This is the first to market professionally developed Blockchain exam around Ethereum. It clearly had funding to develop the exam and some effort put into the exam from experts which is unlike most other blockchain certifications I have seen from competitors.
The Blockchain Training Alliance (BTA) has several training options and certifications that could compliment this certification. They also have a lifecycle of exams as well from beginner to expert.
The CBDE exam is written by experts that live, eat and breath blockchain such as Thomas Wiesner or Ernesto Lee
If your a developer that knows JavaScript, Node or similar languages then this course and certification is for you. The growth of the blockchain clearly is going to change the dynamics in specific verticals such as financials, logistics and government.
Get you first blockchain certification before your coworkers to help distinguish your level of expertise. Fact is your job is going to be more competitive to keep.
You must go to a testing center at Pearson to take the exam and be proctored. Being proctored is something that some other blockchain certification don’t require. The other certifications you pay a fee, pass an online test with open book and you an blockchain expert with no real credibility. When you pass the CBDE exam your credibility is deserved and even validated on Etheruem blockchain. You passed the challenging exam with no open computer monitors of books congratulations.
