Understanding CPD Accreditation
CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development, a globally recognized standard for structured learning. Here's what accreditation means and why it adds weight to your certificate.
What Is CPD Accreditation?
CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development: the ongoing process of maintaining and expanding your skills and knowledge throughout your working life. Across many industries and professions, CPD is a recognized way to show that your learning is structured, current, and externally benchmarked rather than informal or self-declared.
When a course or assessment is CPD-accredited, it has been reviewed against the standards of an independent accreditation body. Blockready's accreditation comes from the UK's CPD Certification Service, one of the longest-established CPD accreditation institutions. Our certificate is worth 25 CPD hours, which learners can record toward the annual CPD targets that many professional bodies set.
Accreditation doesn't change what you learn, but it changes how your learning is recognized. A CPD-accredited certificate signals to employers, clients, and professional bodies that your knowledge was assessed against an external standard, not simply issued by the same platform that taught the course. It is not an academic degree or a regulated financial qualification, but it is a credible, portable record of structured professional learning.

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions about the exam, CPD accreditation, retakes, or what your certificate means? Here are clear answers to what learners ask most before they enroll.
Is the accreditation exam included in the course?
No. The course and the accreditation exam are separate. The exam is an optional, one-time $39.99 add-on available to learners on any paid Blockready plan. You can add it during checkout or at any later stage once you feel ready to attempt it.
What does "CPD-accredited" actually mean?
It means the assessment has been reviewed against the standards of an independent CPD body, the UK's CPD Certification Service, rather than being self-certified by Blockready. A pass awards an official certificate worth 25 CPD hours that you can record toward professional development requirements.
How is the exam structured?
The exam is 100 multiple-choice questions drawn from all 13 core modules of the Cryptocurrency Masterclass, with an 80% pass mark. It is designed to confirm a broad, structured understanding of the full curriculum rather than a single topic.
Do I need to finish the whole course first?
It is strongly recommended. The exam covers the entire curriculum, so working through all modules is the best preparation. A mock exam is included in the course closing section so you can experience the question style and identify weak areas before attempting the real assessment.
What happens if I don't pass on the first attempt?
You can retake the exam as many times as you need. There is no limit on attempts. If you don't reach the 80% pass mark, review the material, revisit the mock exam to identify gaps, and attempt it again whenever you feel ready.
Will employers recognize the certificate?
The certificate is third-party accredited evidence of structured learning and a passed assessment in crypto and Web3 fundamentals. Whether any credential is accepted depends on the individual employer's or institution's own standards. It supports your case; it does not guarantee a hiring outcome. For context on what employers are actually signaling, see Web3 Skills Employers Actually Want in 2026.
How will I receive my certificate, and in what format?
Your certificate is issued the moment you pass, delivered as a downloadable PDF via email. You can also request it as a blockchain-verified NFT on the Polygon blockchain, which you would hold in your own crypto wallet. The NFT option is not automatic; you initiate it after passing. For details on wallets, verification, and how the NFT version works, see the NFT certificates page.
Is this the same as a university degree or a financial license?
No. This is a CPD-accredited certificate that recognizes structured professional learning. It is not an academic degree, a government-issued qualification, or a regulated financial or trading license, and it should not be presented as one.
Does the certificate expire?
A CPD certificate records learning completed at a point in time, so it does not expire in the way a licence might. That said, crypto and Web3 move quickly, so keeping your knowledge current matters. The course itself is updated monthly, so you can keep learning after you're certified.
Can I share my certificate on LinkedIn?
Yes. Your PDF certificate is ready to share as soon as you pass. You can add it to your LinkedIn profile under Licenses & Certifications, attach it to a post, or include it in a portfolio. If you also request the NFT version, you can share your OpenSea profile link or PolygonScan wallet page as a publicly verifiable proof of the credential.
