COURSE OVERVIEW
Blockchain and cryptocurrencies grab a lot of headlines in the media. But is it just hype or are there some practical applications for your industry, for your organization? In the same way that personal computers, open-source software, and the internet promised enormous potential in their early days, blockchain technology offers ample possibilities to benefit both business and society at large. The annual business value of blockchain technologies is forecast to exceed $3 trillion by 2030, according to Gartner. In addition, a PwC survey of 600 executives on the state of blockchain reveals that 84 percent reported that they are “actively involved” in blockchain technologies in some way. That response spans a spectrum from being in a research phase to launching a pilot or running live systems. But these figures show that blockchain has left the station at full steam ahead. But what about the broader societal impact — can blockchain improve the quality of life for people around the world? In a word, yes. Hundreds of organizations, including nonprofits, non-government organizations, and governments, are using blockchain technology to drive massive social good. That change includes financial inclusion; building more efficiency into currency exchanges; building wealth independent of a country’s inflation; and securing environmental land rights in developing countries, to level the playing field.

WOW Sohel! This course has far exceeded my expectations regarding BlockChain fundamentals. This course is a must for anyone wanting to become a BlockChain Developer. There is extensive coverage on all aspects of BlockChain and Cryptocurrency technologies. This Instructor managed to simplify my understanding of BlockChain principles by effectively using analogies to explain complex subject matter. The presentation material is comprehensive in scope, depth, and relatively easy to understand. The training material that is covered is presented as discrete modules. Which in my opinion, made the various BlockChain topics easier to understand (learning is easier when information is presented in “chunks”). For example, Module 1: Covers BlockChain Basics, SHA256-Hash, Immutable Ledger, and Distributed P2P Network just to name a few. Module 2A: Covers Cryptocurrency Intuition. Topics in this module include Bitcoin basics, Bitcoin Monetary Policy, Understanding Mining Difficulty, Mining Pools, Nonce Range, How Miners Pick Transactions (Part1), How Miners Pick Transactions (Part2) and how Mempools work just to name a few. Module 3: Smart Contract Intuition Covers Ethereum, description of Smart Contract, Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs), Soft and Hard Forks, and Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) just to name a few. For those reading this review, My goal was to summarize what I’ve gleaned from this very knowledgeable course instructor. For the record, I reviewed the course material for the following Universities for the purpose of establishing a point of reference (comparing apples to apples). They Include: UCLA, MIT, UC Berkely, Cornell University, and Amazon BLockChain Guides. After an exhaustive review of the aforementioned Universities and Amazon Guide, I have concluded this course is superior to my reference points in terms of price and course content.

I was oblivious to the world of Blockchain platform, not to mention how crypto currency and smart contracts worked. Sohel’s easy to follow instruction along with creative illustrations broke it down to pieces that were simple to comprehend. I am so glad I took Sohel’s Blockchain Training course. This course will help anyone who either has zero knowledge or an expert on this subject matter and get enormous benefit from it. I highly recommend Sohel’s Blockchain Training Course.

I have been searching for a course that give in-depth understanding of BlockChain. Prior to pursuing this class with PM Success Inc., I have taken courses with other institutions. They did not provide the level of knowledge that I sought after. After taking this class I was apparent that I am in the right place. Sohel’s in-depth knowledge of BlockChain and his presentation skills delivered clear understanding of the topic at hand. Anyone whose endeavor is to become a BlockChain Developer; I strongly recommend you take this course with Sohel Akhter. It is awesome!
