OP neglected to mention the $25 renewal fee (after two years, renewal extension is not specified.) I hope you didn't leave an active credit card with these people.

I can list a dozen websites that will mail you bottles of dehydrated water for less than $75 CAD, a much better deal. Shiny website != $75 CAD certification with a net benefit.


@Tigereye, assuming he/she is associated with the "cryptoconsortium"
What you should have done: Provide a list of businesses which either require a cryptocurrency certification for certain positions or explicitly state that having it on a resume is beneficial towards their hiring process.

How to make your "certification" less scam-like: Create a highly intensive online course without a fee, pay for it by offering physical classes with a fee and a certificate. Require a highly intensive, mandatory test and publish scores anonymously to companies--who can then send job offers to users in chosen score distributions. I doubt it would be difficult to get some venture capital on this sort of system.

Why you won't: This is a scam; and you seem to be located in Canada, which does not exist.


I suspect there's a growing demand for cryptocurrency certifications. Kudos to anyone willing to learn about cryptocurrencies. Double kudos to anyone willing to pay for a cryptocurrency certification. Shame on anyone for giving these people money.
