Here’s our roadmap for creating equivalencies for taking the Certification Exam for both Web3+ and Blockchain+ based on the Job Task Analysis (JTA):
Non-Technical Pathway (Web3+™)
- Professional Experience: 2-years working in a relevant non-technical role within the web3 or blockchain industry.
- Academic Degrees: Bachelor’s or Master’s degrees in fields like Business, Economics, Law, or Health, coupled with relevant blockchain subjects.
- Professional Certifications: Holding other relevant certifications, such as in Project Management, Legal Compliance, Financial Analysis, or Healthcare Technology.
- Contributions to the Community: Active engagement in web3 or blockchain communities, participation in conferences, seminars, or contributing to publications.
Technical Pathway (Blockchain+™)
- Professional Experience: 2-years in blockchain development (recommended), security, or system architecture.
- Academic Degrees: Degrees in Computer Science, Information Technology, or Cybersecurity with a focus on blockchain technologies.
- Coding Bootcamps: Completion of reputable blockchain or coding bootcamps that provide hands-on experience.
- Open Source Contributions: Contributions to open-source blockchain projects or developing DApps.
- Security Credentials: Holding other relevant certifications or demonstrated experience in cybersecurity related to blockchain.
Equivalency Overview
| PATHWAY | EQUIVALENCY |
| Non-Technical | Professional Experience, Academic Degrees, Certifications, Community Contributions |
| Technical | Professional Experience, Academic Degrees, Coding Bootcamps, Open Source Contributions, Security Credentials |
These equivalency pathways not only recognize diverse skill sets and experiences but also align with the JTAs by directly correlating with the key roles, tasks, competencies, and validation methods.
