Blockchain Intelligence Professional Pathway

What is our approach?

The Blockchain Intelligence Academy (BIA) provides blockchain intelligence training programs for professionals in finance, banking, compliance, law enforcement, as well as regulators and policymakers.

Our approach is focused on the pragmatic – what do you need to do your job and do it well.

Focus on what matters

Blockchain technology is notorious for jargon and deliberately complicating straightforward concepts. The role of the Blockchain Intelligence Academy (BIA) is to beat a path through idiosyncratic noise in blockchain transactions, and focus on the applications and analyses that matter most.

BIA training programs focus on economic analysis and are intended to supplement and enhance existing analysis, compliance, due diligence and investigative processes.

What is the training process?

Helping you develop independent blockchain intelligence capabilities guides the way our professional training programs are conducted.

With a rigorous focus on the practical and implementable, trainees are encouraged to develop critical thinking and analytical skills not just applicable to blockchain intelligence.

Although trainees use our proprietary blockchain intelligence software during the course duration, that software is based on a standard business intelligence tool, and the training program focuses on using all available blockchain investigative tools to ensure the critical skills that trainees acquire, are readily transferrable.

Peak into our classroom…

In this short clip, you’ll see how the BIA explains one of the more challenging concepts in blockchain transactions – UTXO or Unspent Transaction Output blockchain transactions in a way that’s visually captivating and more importantly, easy to understand.

Choose from a range of readily-available training modules or select our recommended syllabus. Just as every organization’s needs are different, all training programs can be tailored, lengthened, shortened, or abbreviated to your specific requirements.

All learning materials are provided, including a textbook that trainees can keep for future reference. Blockchain Intelligence software is provided for the duration of the training program.

All training programs are available in-person, virtually, or a hybrid of the two, to maximize interactivity between trainees and instructors. Customized online training programs with 24/7 access are also available.

A dedicated chat channel for all trainees and instructors over the course of the training program is included, to facilitate class interaction, discussion, and facilitate learning outcomes.

Online, open-book exams are available which focus on critical thinking and analytical skills for blockchain intelligence.

Optional certification is issued jointly by the National Institute for Research & Development in Informatics – ICI Bucharest and ChainArgos, with automatic membership to the Blockchain Intelligence Professionals Association.
