What our clients say

Positive feedback

You should listen to them. They’re pretty smart.

The Blockchain Academy did a great job of presenting South Africa’s first blockchain short course on Ethereum in 2016. I would recommend anyone interested to learn more about blockchain technology to attend any of their courses.

Dr Jacques Ludik

President, Machine Intelligence Institute of Africa

I have been impressed with their sector knowledge and their network of expertise. We held one workshop at Rise for some of our entrepreneurs and senior executives, which was well received and participants had positive feedback. We continue to work with the academy on an ongoing basis and really value their collaboration.

Camilla Swart

Eco-System Manager, Barclays Rise

The main benefits came from discussing use cases, receiving individual feedback and interacting with the tutor. Well worthy of the money and time spent and I can only thank the Blockchain Academy for putting the course together and delivering it with a very knowledgeable tutor.
