as you see in above article, blockchain education has grown fastly so my thread my be outdate (due to my lack of time to check those new-born courses). I appreciated @boyptc for that post, because it helps people whom have still not known how to search for blockchain courses to do it themselves. Visit those two sites, and use keyword: Blockchain, then enter Search button. It's easy to find online courses. I will edit my thread with that step.

There are online courses that you can avail that's dedicated for blockchain related topics.

What your topic has to do with the Meta board?

[theyoungmillionaire]

Simple predicate, you cannot indicate, how can you graduate?
Sorry, it just bumps into my head.

[AAfunctionaluppityF]

Thanks for sharing this but... why did you post these on Meta? 

[Insanerman]

Simple predicate, you cannot indicate, how can you graduate?
Sorry, it just bumps into my head.

I can't believe theyoungmillionaire has a humorous side but still witty LOL. Good alliteration  
Finally, I found a  great reference for online courses regarding cryptocurrencies. I am not satisfied with my knowledge about crypto lol.

[dungp3132]

Firstly, many thanks for your help with the very useful collection on free online courses on blockchain.
I knew about crypto months ago, and spent my time to read articles, youtube videos, but I did not know about these courses.
I will spend most of my spare time to watch and learn from them.

Secondly, I wish you will keep the topic as regularly updated as possible.

I'd like to add one more course: Blockchain Education by Asitha Koralage
This is purely for educational purpose (no seeding or advertising). When more people are educated, less get scammed.

[tranthidung]

Thanks for your suggestion, but I would like to focus on free courses, which your suggested course is not.

Yeah, this is one of the main reasons why I created the topic.

Anyway, I give you one merit as reward for your contribution to my topic.

[mushroomjazz]

I would like to make a contribution to your list: https://www.class-central.com/tag/blockchain

The classes listed here are all free and MOOC Certified Courses. Thanks for the other links, I will check them out.

[tranthidung]

< ... >

Thanks for your intention to help me and make contribution, but most of courses in your link have already been presented in my OP.
I have not much free time to check all courses in your link ATM, but I will check all of them later.

My general concern is whether there are enough specialists that actually can give a deep knowledge on BTC and Blockchain. Even your list of courses shows that there are the same people giving the course. The whole subject is still so young and I hope one day Blockchain will be included in every secondary school program.

Oh, it has been actually implemented in Australia. You can search this one with Google.

[Comino]

Really? I’ll check that out. That is a great trend. But that is still not every secondary school in the world ))

Hope that all you guys like the article.
It's time to read and find out interesting information by yourself!

[huhhuh18]

Wow I'm amazed. I never knew there were schools actually educating people on blockchain. And it seems the U.S.A is taking the lead with this one. USA always take everything new thing as a competition and that's why they mostly lead the world in certain things. Very soon, when blockchain gets very popular people will travel to these schools to learn.

[sebo.k]

 A great resources for beginners to start their trading journey. HOping to see any of these online university offering a degree in cryptocurrency courses and the degree they will confer on participants.

[tranthidung]

In the future, learners can learn and get official bachelor or master degrees with online courses.
They might not have to go to schools to get degrees.

Very soon, when blockchain gets very popular people will travel to these schools to learn.

Yeah, they can start anywhere they want, but might be good if start with my given courses.

A great resources for beginners to start their trading journey.

Yeah, learners can get their certificates with Coursera online courses by now, might get official degree in the future.
There are lots of master degree courses in Coursera platform.

HOping to see any of these online university offering a degree in cryptocurrency courses and the degree they will confer on participants.

Hi all,
Today I found another topic which has done great initiatives with informative videos.
There you go:
Idea: Courses [Video Tutorial 1.1.1 - Getting Started with Bitcoin Wallet]
You all should visit the topic and enjoy those videos.

[tranthidung]

The topic looks silently over weeks.
Today, I would like to give you all (current guys who joined the topic discussions and someone will join later) a helpful topic, which created by @LoyceV:
[GUIDES] on Bitcointalk. Index thread (until there is a dedicated subforum?)
Of course, the topic is not a course on blockchain, but inside the topic, you can find lots of helpful Guidelines on blockchain in general and on bitcoin in particular.

Enjoy it, everyone!
