Hi, I'd like to become a "Certified Bitcoin Professional":
https://cryptoconsortium.org/certifications/CBP

But I've been putting it off, so I thought I'd try to find someone to take it with me. The idea is to study for the exam together (the idea is *not* to take the exam together; just study for it). I can put in 1 to 2 hours a day.

Looks like there are 33 topics so it'll take 1 to 2 months to study (just a rough estimate).

Anyone up for this?

Wow, I have never heard of these certificates and the company that issues them but they have very convincing names in the board of directors! The course is really cheap if the only thing one has to pay is the application fee and examination fee. It's probably too technical for me, though, and I am almost sure I won't be able to spend 2 years on this since I have another priority, but it's nice trying to organize study groups related to Bitcoin knowledge!
Taking another look at it, though, I don't understand whether there's a platform where one gradually learns everything required to pass the final exam.

This is a complete scam, no one has the authority to claim someone is a certified bitcoin professional. If you want a certificate, just create a fake one and put it on your wall if that will somehow lend credibility to yourself.

If it's true that the people who are mentioned on the website are responsible for these certificates, I would not call it scam. It might be the case, though, that these people are completely unaware of their names being used by some random people.
