The amazing origin story of Blockchain rising from the financial crisis to the introduction of bitcoin and now saving the world.
Blockchain is more than just a buzzword—it's a groundbreaking technology poised to revolutionize the way we do business, share information, and establish trust. Often compared to the internet in terms of its potential impact, blockchain challenges the need for traditional intermediaries like banks, lawyers, and accountants by offering a new, decentralized way to authorize and record transactions.
In this engaging and accessible course, you’ll learn what blockchain is, how it works, and why it matters. You’ll also dive into the fascinating origin story behind this innovation, uncovering how it emerged and why it's capturing global attention. Whether you're a curious beginner or a professional looking to understand the basics, this course offers a clear and compelling introduction to one of the most important technological shifts of our time.

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.
Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
Good, solid introduction to a complex subject. Excellent first look at an emerging technology.
