Overview
This certificate in cryptocurrency and blockchain at Polytechnique Montréal provides applied training in understanding, analyzing, and securing the fast-growing digital asset ecosystem, covering topics from bitcoin transactions and Ethereum smart contracts to hacking incidents and digital asset regulation. No prior expertise in cryptocurrency is required. The 30-credit, 10-course program builds a common foundation in the field before students choose a specialization track in either investigation or analytics. Courses are delivered in the evening, entirely online, on a part-time basis, combining applied instruction with sharing of real workplace experience. The certificate can be combined with cybersecurity certificates toward a cumulative bachelor's degree. It prepares graduates for roles in financial services, cybersecurity, law enforcement, regulatory compliance, digital asset consulting, and audit, including positions such as cryptocurrency investigator, blockchain analyst, and compliance analyst.
