What you will learn: This bundle includes all four courses for the CIO Certified Blockchain Solutions Architect (CCBA) Program.
The CIO Certified Blockchain Solutions Architect certification is the highest level technical certification.
Demonstrate a deep understanding of Blockchain, cryptocurrencies, and digital assets across multiple areas. Learn to identify, design and architect a solution across business, application, data and technology domains to meet business, customer, regulatory, governance, risk management, and policy needs for start-ups or incumbents in highly regulated industries. Understand the vendor eco-system and implementation trade-offs, including use of BaaS and serverless compute, and design of highly resilient, secure, agile, and cost effective solutions.
The 300-level courses teach senior technology professionals the skills needed to achieve this. Certification requires demonstration of these skills via an online exam. Either completion of 100-and 200-level courses or equivalent knowledge is needed. Thereafter, the completion of the following courses or demonstration of knowledge is needed.
CIO Certified Blockchain Solutions Architect (CCBA) Certification: CCBA certification is awarded in partnership with the CIO Association of Canada. CCBAs are senior technology managers and architects, technology consultants, and solution development leads. They own the technology and solution design and architecture for Blockchain and Digital Transformation projects for enterprises and lean start-ups.

Pre-learning materials will be provided ahead of the course.
301. Blockchain Business Architecture Workshop
This is the first in a series of four workshops. This workshop will introduce solutions architecture and will deep dive into developing the Business Architecture for the Solution leveraging TOGAF architecture methodology. Participants do not need to know TOGAF or have prior architecture experience. Key elements of business, customer and product value will be evaluated for current and future state given the solution. You will learn to develop the Business Architecture using a case study that requires revisiting the solution from various perspectives including redesign of the process, user experience, business and governance models, and the solution. Elements unique to use of Blockchain technology and business models will be highlighted.

302. Blockchain Application Architecture Workshop
This is the second in a series of four workshops. This workshop will deep dive into developing the Application Architecture for the Solution leveraging TOGAF architecture methodology. Participants do not need to know TOGAF or have prior architecture experience. Key elements of business, customer and product value will be evaluated for current and future state given the solution. You will learn to develop the Application Architecture using a case study that requires revisiting the solution from various perspectives including application function, users, user stories, and design, and application architecture with Ethereum and Fabric Blockchains. Best practice unique to use of Blockchain technology and application design and development models will be highlighted.
