How to effectively train in blockchain technology in 2023?

The blockchain and cryptocurrency ecosystem is unique and interesting because it is still totally innovative, and that it is one of those environments where diplomas are not necessarily necessary to start a professional activity.

Therefore, today it is very possible self-taught training in “blockchain business”. There are many tools for this purpose on the Internet, and we describe them in this article.

In addition, diploma solutions are available today like the Alyra school or the Ecole Polytechnique Executive Educationcompanies that offer distance learning so you can build a wealth of solid and recognized knowledge.

The tools available today to train in blockchain:

Where to start learning blockchain easily?

The blockchain development business is constantly evolvingboth with regard to the many languages ​​that exist and to their different use cases.

C++, Java, Rust, Python, Vyper, Go, etc. There are countless different programming languages ​​to learn in the blockchain universe. Anyway, it would be relevant to learn Solidity as the first programming languagewhere the latter is the blockchain Ethereum (ETH) and one of the most used in the ecosystem.

Taking its influence from JavaScript, C++ and Python, Solidity especially allows the development of smart contracts and to interact with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), the cornerstone of the Ethereum ecosystem, which allows interoperability with other products developed on the same fabric.

Today, There are some solutions for learning the Solidity language in an interactive and intuitive waysuch as the famous game CryptoZombies, which will teach you how to write smart contracts on Solidity by building games in an educational way.

On our site, we have also written a step-by-step guide so you can develop your first smart contract with Solidity. The latter does not require any special prior knowledge and also allows you to familiarize yourself with the truffle, sprinkle and reaction tools.

Node Guardians

If you want to learn the Solidity language while having fun and with a real sense of progression, we advise you to start Node Guardians, you will find programming lessons in the form of quests and campaigns in the style of an RPG.

You will be rewarded when you complete said tasks with equipment and with points that allow you to develop your skill tree. The difficulty level in the Node Guardians universe is increasing, and you will have the opportunity to do so start with a detailed tutorial to take your first steps on GitHub.

Open classrooms

In addition to the Solidity language, the OpenClassrooms website will allow you to to learn many programming languages such as Python, JavaScript, Java, C and many more, but above all, completely free and in French.

Free coding camp

Finally, the Free Code Camp site will prove to be an optional tool, especially for learning to master Python or JavaScript. However, note that the latter, although very complete, is still only available in English.

Blockchain training at Alyra school

Alira School will allow you to obtain a diploma as a blockchain developer after a 12-week course conducted remotely accompanied by various experts in the blockchain ecosystem.

Instead address them already master the essential components of IT development (JavaScript, NodeJS, HTML and CSS, etc.), the blockchain developer training provided by Alyra will provide you with a rich and continuously updated library supported by the expertise of speakers and trainers.

Oriented towards development on the Ethereum blockchainthis training will allow you to master the environment specific to this ecosystem, especially Truffle or Hardhat, all structured around Solidity, the Ethereum language and EVM compatible blockchains.

After this training, you will be able to implement a smart contract on a blockchain after learning to master Solidity and building decentralized applications (dApps).

As with all training provided by Alyra, blockchain developer training can be funded through your Professional Training Account (CPF), through your employer through OPCOs if you are employed, or through Pôle Emploi if you are currently in jobseeking status.

Total, Alyra’s training lasts 120 hours, which corresponds to 10 hours per week. Regarding the cost of the training, the latter amounts to €3996.40. At the end of his education and when the final exam has been validated, the student will receive a diploma attesting to his skills from the Alyra School.

The Blockchain Formation of Polytechnic Management Training

Polytechnic Management Training offers blockchain training called “Blockchain Starter Program”, available without prerequisites if not an appetite and a predisposition for programming. 100% remotely insured, this module which we have already presented in detail will allow you to benefit from a recognized certification course.

You will be able to develop your skills in blockchain technology as a whole, both in terms of its technical nature and the understanding of the various challenges inherent in its development, whether technological, economic or legal.

After completing this training, you will be able to assert yourself as a trustworthy interlocutor in your work environment and with the specialists in this technology, who will allow you to integrate concrete use cases of blockchain into a business strategy in a sustainable and inclusive way.

The next “Blockchain Starter Program” training cycle takes place from 3 April to 26 May 2023. The duration of the latter is 20 hours (13 hours of synchronous distance learning and 7 hours of asynchronous distance learning) and it costs €4,800.

The education can be financed in various ways, e.g. especially thanks to the balance in your training accountas part of a retraining or via the regional council.

If you would like to know more about the funding methods available, we invite you to read the dedicated page for École Polytechnique Executive Education.
