How you'll learn
100 % online training on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and an assigned technical tutor. No fixed timetables: students progress at their own pace within the intake, which makes it possible to combine study with work.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is Chainalysis, Python (pandas), advanced Excel, Power BI, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Tests are studied using real procedures for insurability analysis of crypto-asset custody, assessment of payments in crypto-assets within logistics chains, and loss scenarios from cyberattacks. Assessment is continuous per module, plus the final integrative project.
