Participants of the new cohort will engage in approximately 184 lecture hours, gaining comprehensive knowledge of blockchain technology with a specific focus on Polkadot.

The curriculum spans from basic concepts to more advanced topics necessary for a successful career in blockchain development. The educational modules include subjects such as Economics, Governance, Smart Contracts, and use of the Polkadot-SDK.

Pauline Cohen Vorms, CEO and Co-Founder of Polkadot Blockchain Academy, highlighted the strategic importance of Asia in the blockchain sector, especially for Polkadot. 

She remarked:

“Asia is such a dynamic market for blockchain and especially for Polkadot. Some of our strongest projects, contributors, developers and founders are based in Asia. It’s an important region that is ideally suited to the establishment of PBA’s fifth cohort to educate, seed knowledge, and help graduate a new wave of talent.”

In addition to its rigorous academic framework, PBA is committed to making its programs widely accessible and inclusive. The academy is introducing a synchronous remote learning model, enabling students globally to access its high-quality educational offerings.
