Digital Assets Council Expands Certificate Program

The Digital Assets Council of Financial Professionals has introduced a revised and enhanced Certificate in Blockchain and Digital Assets program.

DACFP’s course, the first in the industry when it debuted in 2021, now has “thousands of financial professionals enrolled globally,” the group said. Strong demand from financial advisors and investors led DACFP to expand its popular program to four tracks, it added.

“Our new four-track program broadens the appeal to a wider audience,” according to DACFP founder Ric Edelman. “You can now choose the courses that are right for you, so you can learn how to benefit from this new innovative technology.”

Each of the four tracks includes basic and advanced courses, as well as specialized content. The program’s new segments are:

The financial advisor track, focused on how to integrate digital assets into advisory practices and explain crypto to clients.
The financial professional track, which includes content on regulation and operational issues, enabling professionals to contribute to the creation and implementation of crypto strategies.
The crypto industry track, which helps those in the business gain knowledge they need to be productive.
The investor/consumer/student track, designed for enthusiasts and the “cryptocurious” who want to understand blockchain and crypto, as well as related investments and career opportunities.

Up to 18 CE credits are awarded to those completing the program. Also, tuition discounts are available for organizations, and there’s a scholarship program that provides100% tuition coverage for some individuals.
