The Chainalysis Cryptocurrency Fundamentals Certification (CCFC) provides participants with a fundamental understanding of cryptocurrency technology, insight into key stakeholders, and illuminates the use cases, and functions of cryptocurrency relative to the traditional financial system. The course engages learners using a mix of practical exercises, group discussion and case studies developed by Chainalysis experts. The training is provided through a small virtual classroom setting over four half days.
This session has 30 virtual seats available. Given the anticipated high demand, seats will be allotted first-come, first-served.
Upon completion, practitioners will be able to describe key concepts and technology, recognize the value proposition of cryptocurrencies and understand how to begin constructing risk assessments drawing on blockchain analysis.
