When does the training start and finish?
This is self-paced training, which means that you study when it's convenient for you. You get new content released to you every week, but it's up to you whether you study it that week or another week. You can complete the course, exam and get certified in week 15 (week 8 with the Accelerated subscription). But if you need more time, all you need to do is keep your subscription active.
What happens if I end my subscription?
The THRIVE subscription is like Netflix. You get access to the training for as long as you stay subscribed, If you end your subscription, your access ends. You're in control of when your subscription and access starts and finishes.
Is the entire training online?
Yes. After all, this is the digital age. So we have removed physical costs such as travel and accommodation by digitising the entire course. We have also removed the inconvenience of having someone else determine how, when and where you can listen to lessons. You are both accountable for and in control of, your own learning and certification experience.
What will I get if I pay for this course?
You will have access to all of the features and content you need to earn a Course Certificate. This includes over 100 video lessons, transcripts below each video, 7 x multiple choice revision tests, and 7 x practical exercises. When you complete the course and pass the final exam, you will receive an electronic certificate recorded on the blockchain along with your own private certification web page with promotion tools.
In what format will I receive my certificate?
We use a digital credentialing solution, which means that once you have passed the examination, your certificate will be issued in digital format on the blockchain. Certificates registered on the blockchain allow us to issue digital proof of your achievement in a shareable format, which you can use when applying for your next transformation role.
What Are Blockchain Credentials?
CXO Transform uses blockchain technology to store an immutable record of credentials. The blockchain is an incorruptible digital ledger of economic transactions that can be programmed to record not just financial transactions but virtually everything of value. Anything that we write to the blockchain can't be altered in the future by any party.
When your certificate is issued, we use the information provided to create a series of numbers that represent that information. We send this information to the blockchain and store it there. Whenever someone goes to verify a credential we check the stored series of numbers against what the credential information generates today and make sure they're the same. We issue verifiable credentials on the blockchain to help prevent fraud.
With paper certificates a key barrier to fraud could be broken with Photoshop or photocopier skills. With digital credentials fraud is harder.
Can I share my credential on other social media channels?
As you worked so hard to earn your credential we wanted to make it as easy as possible for you to shout about your achievement from "the roof tops" so to speak. So we have enabled one click sharing to hundreds of social channels.
Is private information available on the Blockchain?
No private or personal information is stored on the blockchain. The only thing stored on the blockchain is a series of numbers mathematically derived from the credential information. We can use this series of numbers to verify that the content displayed matches the original record.
Can I print my certificate?
Yes. You need to go to your certificate and click 'Download PDF'.
Can I add my credential to my LinkedIn profile?
Absolutely - and so you should! To add your credential information to LinkedIn, you simply need to enter some information in a form on LinkedIn. Once your certificate is issued, you'll find links to show you how to do this on your certificate page.
Will I receive a digital badge?
Yes. Badges are a quick way for you to show off your skills and credibility in a specific area. Our badges are Mozilla Open Badge compliant, which means that you can have them officially recognised in lots of places in including things like a badge backpack or an Open Badge compliant portfolio. You can download a copy of your badge, add it to your email signature or embed it to your website or blog. We have also made it as easy as possible for you to share your badge across 100's of social channels.
How does the Blockchain prevent fraud?
Once we've recorded a credential on the blockchain it cannot be altered, faked or spoofed. If someone attempts to create a credential that looks like your credentials it won't verify against the blockchain record. The blockchain is the perfect registry for any type of public and private record. It's a unique notarisation platform requiring no central authority, and no single point of failure.
What is the course based on?
The course modules and lessons are structured around the six guiding principles of the THRIVE Digital Business Transformation Framework.
