In July 2021, the BSV Academy launched an introductory course to Bitcoin development focussing on the formative skills and crucial concepts to successfully build applications with Bitcoin.
Since launch, 86 students have completed the course to earn their certificate.
If you’re interested in developing on the BSV blockchain, but you don’t have any professional developer qualification or prior experience in Bitcoin, this course could be just what you’re looking for.
To help you decide if the course is right for you and give you an idea of what to expect from the programme’s content and structure, we’ve collated feedback and reviews from graduates of the BSV Academy’s Introduction to Bitcoin Development.
Introduction to Bitcoin Development course graduate reviews and recommendations
I have been active in the Bitcoin space for quite some time. Currently, I am taking the course ‘Introduction to Bitcoin Development’ at the Bitcoin SV Academy. I was especially impressed by how comprehensive the course is. Since I've been here for a long time, I can say that everything important has been said. Do you plan to push the value of the course certificates somehow? I think if the certificate is respected and adds incentive to complete the courses.

I have finished going through both the intro to Bitcoin Theory and Bitcoin Development courses, and would like you to know how appreciative I am of Bitcoin Academy's thoughtful initiative of the courses. Even though my foundation is relatively weak in basic programming, I am able to advance my understanding of basic development of digital currency, smart contracts and specifically Bitcoin . Excellent contribution to blockchain in general. BSV is sold.
