What Blockchains 101 courses or certifications have you taken?
I have successfully completed the Certified Enterprise Blockchain Professional (CEBP)™ designation from 101 Blockchains.
Why did you choose 101 Blockchains and how was your overall learning experience with the platform?
I chose the CEBP program to understand the possibilities of blockchain implementation in corporate and SME banking with a practical perspective. Over 19 years of professional experience in the banking sector has introduced me to the different ways in which technology is transforming financial services. I strongly believe that blockchain will pave the way for impactful innovations in banking and financial services in the future.
I had one of the most amazing learning experiences of my career with 101 Blockchains’ CEBP program. The structured course design made it easier to address the learning objectives, which were surprisingly relevant to the banking industry. The course also stood out among other resources I had tried previously for how it provided a balance between theoretical knowledge and the practical utility of blockchain. Most importantly, I can now connect technical concepts with business strategy, which strengthens my capabilities as a digital transformation leader at a large bank.
At 101 Blockchains, you don’t just get certifications, you learn real-world skills that make you a confident blockchain professional.

The certification helped me grow as a “tribe leader” in my organization and gave me the ability to evaluate fintech partnership opportunities. I could easily determine whether fintech collaborations will effectively align with my organization’s digital strategy.
The CEBP certification opened my eyes to the world of finance beyond traditional banking models. This helped me understand that blockchain was not designed to serve solely as a technology for creating cryptocurrencies. The real value of blockchain is evident in how it improves trust, transparency and efficiency for any business. During my training, I also found that continuous learning is necessary to keep up with the rapid evolution of blockchain technology and its applications.
