Certified Ethereum Developer

Become a Solidty Smart Contract and DAPP Developer and earn more!

The Certified Ethereum Developer course is for existing developers who wish to understand how to create Smart Contracts and develop Ethereum-based decentralized applications (“dApps”). This live instructor-led developer course comprises three workshops: Ethereum Enterprise Strategist, Ethereum Smart Contract, and Ethereum Developer. The course gives a top-down view of all critical aspects of Ethereum, including an overview of how the Ethereum Blockchain works, how it is different from traditional architecture, setting up a working environment of new developer tools, and how to create Smart Contracts and DApps. Students learn Solidity, the primary language for creating Smart Contracts on Ethereum. After learning how to write, deploy, test, and interact with Smart Contract, you use real hands-on examples simulating real running protocols. Graduating students will connect Smart Contracts to a user interface, illustrating their ability to develop sophisticated dApps (Decentralized Applications).

Learner Outcomes

Certificate of Completion

Eligible for Blockchain Certification Association (BCA) Certification Exam

Ethereum Developer Certification
Exam fee is included in your tuition

Prerequisites

A minimum of a year of software development experience using C++, Java, Python, and JavaScript. C++, Java, Python, and JavaScript influence Ethereum’s built-in programming language Solidity. Students need to be familiar with these languages to program in Solidity.

Target Audience

All software developers should consider learning Ethereum and Solidity.
