Q: There are so many blockchain and digital transformation course providers, how do I know which course to take?
A: With so much choice and such a vast amount of conflicting information available on the internet it can be difficult for potential blockchain and digital transformation course students to make the correct choice.
The most internationally recognised blockchain and digital transformation courses lead to a diploma.

Our all-inclusive blockchain and digital transformation course includes digital transformation modules which other providers only offer as an additional course after you have gained your blockchain certificate and at an additional cost.

Q: How much does the course cost?
A: Our blockchain and digital transformation certificate (20 hours) costs between €99 & €499 depending on the date of purchase; this includes all the course materials and tutor support as well as a unit on digital transformation, for which other course providers would charge an additional fee. Your official blockchain and digital transformation diploma will be emailed to you immediately after the course and a physical copy may be purchased at an extra cost which will be posted to you within 30 working days of completing the Blockchain International Training course.

http://www.cambridgeenglish.org/test-your-english/general-english/
https://www.examenglish.com/leveltest/index.php
B2 is the level represented by the following public exams:

The diploma is also secured through the blockchain.
Our blockchain and digital transformation certificate qualifies you to consult businesses internationally, including in Europe.
Q: What is a diploma qualification?
A: When you hear about “levels” this refers to the UK government’s framework for qualifications. This framework allows learners studying UK government regulated qualifications to understand where their qualification sits in comparison to other qualifications. Our course is taught at same level as a diploma or foundation degree, one step above a-levels, but below a university degree.
Q: What does the course consist of?
A: The course is heavily focused on reading, videos, discussions, group work, role plays and short tests.
Q: Will I be required to take an exam or test paper?
A: The blockchain and digital transformation course (20 hours) is assessed by a mix of short exams and classes. All units are exam-assessed. Please note that in order to pass each test at the end of each unit, you will need to achieve a minimum of 70%. Upon completion, students are awarded Pass or Fail.

A: There are literally hundreds of jobs boards and other resources newly qualified consultants can use to find employment. We will point you in the right direction and assist you in making job applications.
Q: Can I apply for jobs before I finish the course?
A: Many of our students choose to start applying for jobs before they complete their qualification. Employers will often accept applicants without a blockchain and digital transformation certificate, as long as they can prove they have enrolled on and started a suitable blockchain and digital transformation course. This is a good way of ensuring you have a job waiting as soon as you qualify, however, any students choosing to apply for jobs before they complete the course should bear in mind that we cannot be held responsible if you do not complete your course in time. Some students struggle with the course more than others or are unable to commit to full-time study over a single weekend. We advise that students allow at least 4 weeks as contingency time, to allow for any unforeseen circumstances. For example, a student planning to complete the course within 6 weeks, should allow at least 10 weeks before they are likely to receive their certificate for visa/travel purposes.
