Blockchain Council is an online certification body that has been running since 2016. It sells self-paced courses with an exam at the end, covering blockchain, cryptocurrency, Web3 and, more and more, artificial intelligence. Each course page lists the hours of study, the level and a certification code, and most come with lifetime access to the material and 24/7 learner support.

It suits working professionals who want a structured way into a new topic and a certificate for their resume, developers looking at blockchain platforms, and managers who need to understand AI tools well enough to make decisions about them. It's all online, so it works from anywhere in the US.

The catalog is large, with hundreds of certifications grouped into areas such as Understanding Blockchains, Developing Blockchains, AI and Machine Learning, Web3 and Metaverse, Cryptocurrency and Digital Assets, and Blockchain for Business. Each course page shows the level (for example Expert or Professional), the learning hours and a short list of what you'll cover, so it's easy to tell an overview course from a hands-on technical one. Certified learners can also be listed on the site.

What's worth a look

Here are six courses from across the catalog, with the self-paced prices shown on Blockchain Council's own pages when we checked.

The Certified Blockchain Expert at $349 is the foundation course, with around 10 hours of self-paced learning. The site itself suggests starting here before moving on to the $399 Certified Blockchain Developer, which goes into Ethereum, IPFS, Hyperledger Fabric and R3 Corda.

On the AI side, the Certified ChatGPT Expert is the cheapest of the six at $299, while the Certified Agentic AI Expert ($349) and Certified Claude AI Expert ($399) cover AI agents, prompting and workflow automation. Several courses also offer an instructor-led version with live sessions for a higher price, so check the dates on the course page if you'd rather learn in a group.

Current offers

The site also sells memberships and subscriptions alongside single courses. If you plan to take several certifications, compare those against buying courses one at a time.

How to save more

• Pick the self-paced option unless you really want live teaching. On the courses we looked at, the live version cost about $100 more.
• Plan your learning path first. If you're likely to take three or more courses, a membership or subscription may work out cheaper than separate purchases.
• Many course pages show a payment-plan (EMI) option, which spreads the cost but doesn't lower it. Use a discount code at checkout either way.
