GoMining is expanding its education platform beyond Bitcoin mining with the launch of a free course covering the broader blockchain and cryptocurrency ecosystem.
The new “Blockchain and Crypto” program is the third free course released through GoMining Academy, which has now attracted more than 740,000 learners. More than 194,000 people have completed at least one Academy course.
Rather than focusing specifically on mining, the eight-lesson course is designed to explain the technology and concepts people encounter when buying, holding or using digital assets.
Topics range from the origins of blockchain and decentralized networks to Bitcoin, altcoins, stablecoins, smart contracts, NFTs, wallets and private keys. The course also explains the differences between Proof of Work and Proof of Stake and looks at blockchain applications outside cryptocurrency.
The expansion reflects GoMining’s push to position its educational platform around the wider Bitcoin and crypto ecosystem rather than mining alone. GoMining itself has grown into an ecosystem serving more than 5.5 million users, with products spanning digital BTC miners, the GoMining Card, Simple Earn, Instant Funds and the GOMINING token.
GoMining Academy’s existing courses have generated more than 105,000 learner ratings, with an average score of 4.8 out of 5.
The latest course requires no previous blockchain knowledge and contains approximately 80 minutes of content. Every lesson is offered in video, text and audio formats, while video subtitles are available in seven languages.
Learners can also complete quizzes and a final 10-question test, with eight correct answers required to earn a completion certificate.
The educational material itself is available without creating a GoMining account. An account is only required for users who want to save their progress, take the final test and receive a certificate.
The free course is available now through GoMining Academy.
