Your Learning Journey

Weeks 1-4

Foundations & Setup

We start with blockchain fundamentals and testing environment configuration. You'll get comfortable with development tools, understand network architecture, and learn how smart contracts actually work under the hood. No previous blockchain experience required.

Weeks 5-12

Core Testing Techniques

This phase covers security testing methodologies, automated testing frameworks, and vulnerability identification. You'll analyze real smart contracts, discover common attack vectors, and practice using professional testing suites like Hardhat and Foundry.

Weeks 13-20

Advanced Security Analysis

Deep dive into complex security scenarios, gas optimization testing, and cross-chain compatibility issues. Students work on case studies from actual security audits, learning how to document findings and communicate technical issues effectively.

Weeks 21-24

Capstone Project

Complete a comprehensive security audit of a real-world DeFi protocol. Present your findings to industry professionals and receive detailed feedback. This project becomes a key portfolio piece for job applications.

What Makes Our Program Different

Real-world experience meets academic rigor in an environment designed for professional growth

Hands-On Laboratory Work

Every concept gets tested in our dedicated blockchain lab. Students work with live testnets, deploy actual smart contracts, and use the same tools that security firms employ for million-dollar audits.

Industry Mentorship

Our instructors currently work as blockchain security consultants. They bring fresh case studies from recent projects and help students understand what employers actually look for in junior testers.

Portfolio Development

Build a comprehensive portfolio of testing reports, vulnerability assessments, and security documentation. Graduates leave with tangible proof of their abilities that speaks directly to hiring managers.

Flexible Learning Options

Evening and weekend sessions accommodate working professionals. Online components let you review complex topics at your own pace, while in-person labs ensure hands-on mastery of critical skills.

Learn From Active Practitioners

Professional Experience

Both instructors maintain active consulting practices with DeFi protocols and enterprise blockchain projects. They've identified critical vulnerabilities worth millions in total value locked, and regularly contribute to open-source security tools.

Combined 12+ years in blockchain security
Authors of three major vulnerability disclosure reports
Regular speakers at security conferences
Contributors to Ethereum security standards

Teaching Philosophy

We believe the best way to learn security testing is by actually breaking things — safely. Students work with intentionally vulnerable contracts, participate in bug bounty simulations, and learn to think like both developers and attackers.

Ongoing Industry Connections

Regular guest lectures from security firm partners, job placement assistance, and alumni networking events. Many graduates find positions through connections made during the program.
