Blockchain for Business: The New Industrial Revolution (Udemy.com)

Blockchain Technology Will Transform How Businesses Operate. Do You Want to Be a Part of the Blockchain Journey?

Created by: 365 Careers

Last updated January 2026

Our take

Based on the ratings of 9,780 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in January 2026. No course pays to be reviewed.

This is a no-code introduction to blockchain aimed at business people. It runs about 6 hours across 71 lectures and 11 sections. It opens with the rationale for cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin, moves on to Ethereum, then looks at applications in finance, consumer goods and the big tech companies, and ends with newer projects. There are no quizzes or exercises, so it is a watch-and-take-notes course. The audience list covers executives, bankers, lawyers, regulators and students, and the requirements ask for nothing at all.

Reviewers like how gradually it builds. Several came in as complete newcomers and say the pieces connect clearly, and two say it gets more interesting in the later sections. The teaching from 365 Careers is described as clear and easy to follow. Complaints are small but consistent. One reviewer calls the material dated and points to 2017, and also says topics repeat across sections. Another wanted downloadable notes, a non-technical student found the final theory heavy, and the subtitle translations are sometimes off.

The rating is strong, 4.6 from about 9,800 reviews, and fewer than 200 of those are one or two stars. The course was last updated in January 2026, but the reviewer who flagged dated content said it reflects 2017, so treat it as solid background rather than a market briefing. For a business reader who wants the concepts before spending on anything bigger, it is a sensible pick. Developers should look elsewhere.

Best forManagers, bankers and lawyers who need to understand blockchain and crypto without writing any code.
Skip it ifYou want to build smart contracts or need coverage of the very newest crypto developments.

Pros

  • Starts from zero and builds up, so non-technical beginners can follow it
  • Goes past Bitcoin into finance, consumer goods and big tech use cases
  • Clear, easy delivery that reviewers say connects the dots step by step
  • Short at about 6 hours, with no programming needed

Cons

  • One reviewer says it is not up to date and reflects 2017, with some repeated topics
  • No quizzes or exercises, and a reviewer wanted downloadable course materials
  • Later sections get theory-heavy for people without a tech background
Great presentation, exhaustive and understandable content for newbees to the world of blockchain.
Jennifer Billie, a student

Truly beginner friendly, though a few reviewers outside tech found the later theory heavy going.

Course Description

You have heard the term “blockchain”, right? But you are still not very clear what it is exactly. Or perhaps, you know something about it, but don’t understand how it works, where its value comes from, and how is it developing currently.    

It is the technology powering crypto-assets like Bitcoin, Ethereum and many others. And it has become the hottest field in the tech sector now.   

Blockchain has the potential to change the world and few people realize all its far-reaching applications beyond Bitcoin.   

Its disruptive potential has been compared to that of the Internet. That’s why people call it “the Internet of money” or “the Internet of value”.    

Now, compare this course to having a roadmap to the Internet in the early 1990s. A comprehensive guide that enables you to fully understand the new space and empowers you to make correct fully-informed decisions. You will be able to see new business opportunities before others do. You will be able to distinguish good ideas and projects from bad ones. You will learn how blockchain works and how it can be applied in various sectors. Moreover, you will get a new perspective on decentralized economic systems, which are expected to play a huge role in the future. This is the “sharing economy” 2.0 – powered by crypto-economics and blockchain.

This is what “Blockchain for Business: The New Industrial Revolution” will teach you!   

Our mission is to provide the most comprehensive educational material on the subject, which delivers the best value for money to our audience.  

After the unprecedented growth of the crypto-asset market, fuelled by speculation and emotions, it is high time to increase awareness and understanding of blockchain technology among the general public.    

We believe that understanding should come first, before anyone starts making any decisions with real-world implications. That’s why our team created this course and tried to design it in the most clear, accessible and fun way. This is by no means a highly technical course and our focus here is not programming. We are not going to show you how to write code. But we are going to explain everything else, which is relevant and important to know about blockchain.   

Our materials are designed to explain the fundamentals of blockchain technology, crypto-economics and their applications in business and everyday life to people without a technical background.    

We hope you are as passionate about constantly upgrading your knowledge base, as we are. Because knowledge is power!

So, let’s begin! Take this course today and become part of the new industrial revolution that is already shaping the future! 

P.S. We believe this is an excellent educational product. But if you are not completely happy with the value you have received at the end, don’t worry - we offer a full 30-day unconditional refund. Sounds amazing, right? So, why wait? Your bet is hedged, and you have unlimited upside! Let’s start our blockchain journey together!

Corso ben strutturato, con un giusto equilibrio tra nozioni generali e tecniche. Il corso è adatto anche a chi non ha un background prettamente informatico. Unica nota è sulle traduzioni riportate nei sottotitoli, che a volte non è perfetta.

By Yee Yi Cheong on 11/14/2020

Yes, love the introduction.

By Dina Smolenski on 11/14/2020

From the start, everything very well explained - my questions have been answered to more I go along withe the tutorial. Well done.

By Argel Figueroa on 11/7/2020

I'm now aware of the applications of blockchain, good course.

By Sherry YF Shen on 11/7/2020

The course is great. The only problem is that it is a little lengthy without handouts. You can learn a lot through this course but you may forget what certain terms mean because there are too many new terms about this fantastic technology.

By Arun Narayanan on 11/1/2020

The first 4 sections are introduction to Blockchain technology, but then on the course becomes really interesting as the author dives into the concepts with depth and clarity.

By Indranil Sarkar on 10/27/2020

Very insightful and full of useful information on the recent development in this technology field.

By Radhika Kumar on 10/24/2020

This course is very user firendly and more business focused with less technical details. To be fair this was the course topic but a little more details on technology side would have been helpful.
Overall it is a good course.

By Adam Karwan on 10/18/2020
