DACFP’s Crypto Professional certification course was an excellent program. It is taught by a real “who’s who” cast in the space and delivers you great information from the basics to the advanced. It is a great program to take whether you are just starting your blockchain journey or are already deep in the weeds.
Ryan Semmelmayer, Business Development Representative, Rise
In October 2024, I was unemployed and looking to get into finance. I ventured into the crypto world and found DACFP. I got my Certificate in Blockchain and Digital Assets and started looking for jobs. A month later I was hired and have been thriving ever since. It’s all thanks to DACFP’s CBDA course and platform! 
Jett Bonner, Relationship Manager, iTrust Capital
After watching curiously from the periphery for several years while dodging questions about the digital asset world, I realized that this isn’t going away and therefore I needed to expand my knowledge about it. Ric and DACFP’s CBDA designation made it easy to follow, convenient and affordable to access, and even provided CE credits while I learned.
