Live Online Blockchain and Emerging Technologies Training Course
Live online, instructor-led · next cohort Oct 19, 2026 · from USD 1,700
Blockchain is surrounded by hype, and organisations often struggle to separate genuine opportunities from costly experiments. Ten days give technologists and decision makers the depth to judge for themselves. The first half explains how distributed ledgers work: hashing, digital signatures, consensus mechanisms, public and permissioned networks, wallets, tokens and the design of smart contracts in Solidity on Ethereum-compatible chains, alongside Hyperledger Fabric for enterprise use. You then deploy contracts on a test network and connect them to a simple web front end.
The second half places blockchain beside other emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, digital identity, cloud services and mobile money integration. Applied labs cover supply chain traceability, land and records registries, trade finance, digital credentials and tokenised assets, with attention to security audits, regulation, data protection, energy use and governance. The programme suits software developers, ICT managers, systems analysts, fintech and banking innovation teams, auditors and public sector digital leads. Classroom, online and in-house delivery are offered, with a CPD-accredited certificate. Afterwards you can evaluate a use case honestly, build a working prototype and write a sound business case.

About this course
Distributed ledgers, smart contracts and tokenised assets are moving from experiments to production in payments, trade, identity and public records. At the same time artificial intelligence, connected devices and cloud platforms are changing the systems that blockchain must work with. Leaders who cannot tell a durable use case from a fad risk wasting budgets or missing real opportunities.
The Blockchain and Emerging Technologies Training Course takes participants from first principles to working prototypes over ten days. The first week explains cryptographic foundations, consensus, network types and smart contract development, with participants writing, testing and deploying code. The second week widens the scope to integration with oracles, digital identity, artificial intelligence and Internet of Things data, then examines security, governance, regulation, scalability and sustainability. Throughout, each technology is tested against a simple question: does it solve a problem better than a conventional database or service?
The course is laboratory-based, with extended practice time and a team project in the final days. Participants produce a prototype, a risk register and a business case, giving them a concrete record of what they can build and recommend.
Training Objectives
By the end of the programme, participants will be able to:
- Explain how hashing, digital signatures and consensus mechanisms secure a distributed ledger.
- Distinguish public, private and consortium networks and select one for a given scenario.
- Write, test and deploy a simple smart contract using Solidity.
- Describe how permissioned platforms such as Hyperledger Fabric support enterprise applications.
- Integrate off-chain data and external systems through oracles and application interfaces.
- Evaluate how artificial intelligence, Internet of Things and digital identity complement blockchain.
- Identify security vulnerabilities and apply audit and testing practices to smart contracts.
- Build a business case that weighs benefits, costs, regulation and governance.
