Foundational Understanding
Develop a clear understanding of how crypto systems operate — technically, organisationally, and from a governance perspective. This level introduces the essential concepts needed to engage responsibly with blockchain-based systems and digital assets.
Risk Awareness
Learn how governance, compliance, and security risks emerge in real crypto environments — and why responsibility does not disappear in decentralised systems. This level builds early risk awareness and an understanding of real-world consequences.
A Structured Entry Point
Level 1A is the deliberate starting point for a structured learning pathway. It provides the grounding required before progressing to applied decision-making and greater professional responsibility in later levels.
Programme Structure
Programme Structure Level 1A is a deliberately structured foundation designed to establish shared understanding and language across crypto systems. The programme focuses on governance awareness, risk literacy, and judgment — providing the grounding required before technical or applied work can be undertaken responsibly. Core Areas Covered Participants engage with structured learning across the following themes: Foundations of Crypto Governance Understanding accountability, responsibility, and control in decentralised and hybrid systems. Risk, Responsibility, and Decision-Making How governance, compliance, and security risks emerge in real crypto environments. Identity, Keys, and Security Fundamentals High-level understanding of identity models, cryptographic keys, and key management without technical overload. Blockchain Mechanics and Trust Models How trust is established, maintained, and broken in blockchain-based systems. Governance Failures and Real-World Case Patterns Examining common failure modes, governance blind spots, and lessons from real crypto incidents. Practical Reasoning Under Uncertainty Developing judgment where information is incomplete and consequences are real. Assessment & Progression Level 1A includes structured knowledge checks and a final assessment to ensure understanding is consolidated. Successful completion confirms readiness to progress to Level 1B, where learning becomes more applied and scenario-driven. Full lesson content, quizzes, and assessments are unlocked upon enrolment.
