The DEC Institute (the DEC), a leading consortium of higher education institutions and provider of professional certifications on Web3-related technologies, announced a new partnership with edX, a leading global online learning platform from 2U, Inc. to help professionals everywhere start or advance a career using blockchain technology. As a new edX partner, the DEC will launch two Professional Certificate programs on edX.org that will put learners on a path toward earning a Chartered Blockchain Analyst (CBA) or Chartered Digital Asset Analyst (CDAA) continuing education certificate.
