Certified Bitcoin Professional

[Abstrct]

I am sorry to say but this kind of certification has no value, at least to me. What was the process to get it ? Following the course and complete a quizz ? In their about page i see Andreas M. Antonopoulos, Vitalik Buterin, and a few others listed as their Board of Directors. I am a little surprised to see them and I never heard about this consortium

C4 has been around a pretty long time now but to be blunt, we aren't experts in marketing. We mostly just quietly do things we think are helpful. In addition to the professional certification, C4 also introduced the CryptoCurrency Security Standard, and have run a very well received training conference.

The certification may not have value to you, but we have many partners who are strong believers in it, including exchanges, professional services firms, dev shops, and banks. We especially find that organizations looking to hire their first couple blockchain focused employees find a lot of value in it, as they are less likely to know what questions to ask in an interview process. The cert gives them a measuring stick that helps ensure the people they are hiring are not completely smoke and mirrors.

From the side of the professional, we have had numerous people tell us that getting the certification helped prepare them for jobs in the space, and helped them prove that knowledge to perspective employers.

I mean, I get the teasing. Not everyone believes that certifications are beneficial. Not to mention there are a lot of scammers out there looking for a quick buck.
C4 is a non-profit, that's been around for over three years, which just aims to help mature the space and professional certifications is a means to doing that. We always make sure to work with incredible people across the industry to ensure what we offer is the absolute best that it can be.

Yes, i see my error since, I checked more carefully the website and visited the blog, and a couple of others things, CBP Study Guide and the "Preparing for the Certified Bitcoin Professional exam". I see it differently since, and understand why and how some firms/services can find it usefull finally. To tell you the truth, if i was in charge of recruiting people, (for something where this certification can be used) I would ask this. I will save time surely

I completed the certification process at https://cryptoconsortium.org/. Took the 20 minute/75 question multiple choice test, paid $50 CAD test plus $25 CAD certificate application fee (BTC only) and uploaded a resume. Got my CBP certification in a few hours.

I remember when we made the certification discussions on the forum, technically I would be CBP without even certifying since the questions were designed from a baseset of questions that the community analyzed and determined would do the trick.
Still it's there as a display item for some especially since no one knows Bitcoin so some sort of cover is needed to provide an air of legitimacy.

I am also enrolled in the Princeton Course.  https://piazza.com/princeton/spring2015/btctech/home

I think I did like the first 3 exams of the coursera a while back then was like meh and forgot until you all reminded me again about that ha-ha registered for it too and even saved the e-mails.

Welcome to the final week, with two contrasting lectures. Lecture 11 is on where Bitcoin could be going. The use of Bitcoin technology for decentralizing property, markets, and so on has been hailed as a recipe for economic and political disruption. We'll look at the technological underpinnings of these proposals and the potential impact on society.

In lecture 12, a bonus lecture, we’ll look at the history of cryptocurrencies. There were nearly a hundred cryptographic payment systems that came before Bitcoin, almost all of which failed. We’ll look at where the ideas in Bitcoin come from and what it takes for complex technical innovations to be successfully commercialized. This story will give you an appreciation of how remarkable it is that we finally have a real, working payment mechanism that’s native to the Internet.

Still worth a look for those who want to see some classic discussions ^^.

Got my CBP certification in a few hours.

I passed the CBP test days ago and still haven't gotten mine.

Update: I received mine now. They just had to manually look at my CV.

Also, C4 does seem legit, as I saw it on one of Andreas's talk's slides.

Ok, now I'm a certified bitcoin pro also. I wrote it on a cocktail napkin and hung it on my office wall. I couldn't be prouder, I made summa cum laude!

huh
How could that certificate be applied in getting a job or doing business? There are tons of information about cryptocurrency industry all over the internet, already systematized and for free.

This is a very nice development just that I am concerned about one became a professional in just an hour! I will wish we started getting certified in cryptocurrencies fields in future and awarded certificates so we can used to get blockchain technology jobs. I wish also I should be able to work from home and determine my Own time but been paid in bitcoin or any of the popular cryptocurrencies.
