Course Overview

This professional‐grade programme is divided into three progressive parts—Beginners, Intermediate and Advanced—each focusing on hands-on practicals that culminate in real-world Cardano applications. Students will earn on-chain certificates (NFTs) as they master Haskell, Plutus and the Cardano ecosystem, preparing them for careers in Web3 development and promoting global innovation.

This is a Catalyst community funded project with no entry barriers. It is also designed to promote not only Cardano but Catalyst as well. Although there are pre-requisites for this course, all interested passionate Cardano developers are welcome.

🎯 Aims

  • 🌐 Promote innovation globally
  • 📈 Reduce unemployment
  • 🌉 Bridge the technology gap
  • ⚖️ Address economic disparities

📝 Objectives

  • ⚙️ Create a Web2 industry-based practical platform for university/college students or developers
  • 🌐 Create a Web3 industry-based practical platform for university/college students or developers
  • 📦 Develop real-world applications using Cardano blockchain tools
  • 💼 Provide IT consulting services worldwide
  • 💡 Produce innovative, disruptive technologies for human well-being
  • 🎓 Deliver training on cutting-edge technologies

🗂 Course Structure

🔰 Part A: Beginners Credentials (CG-BHP-OC)

Inclusive, foundational training for those new to Cardano and software development, including students with limited hardware, data or prior coding experience. Completion awards 3 on-chain certificates (NFTs) with chapter-progress tokens.

  • Eligibility: Anyone new to Cardano or coding; no prerequisites

  • Certification: 3 NFTs upon completing all modules

  • Assessment Breakdown:

    1. Haskell Theory – 40%
    2. Plutus Theory – 40%
    3. Cardano Ecosystem – 20%

⚙️ Part B: Intermediate Credentials (CG-IHP-OC)

Designed for Part A graduates or experienced developers. Focuses on deeper theory quizzes and practical “Marathon” projects—MVPs/demos on Preprod/Preview testnets.

  • Eligibility: Part A completion or equivalent experience

  • Activities:

    • Quizzes on Haskell & Plutus (IOG 19 Haskell chapters)
    • Mock-up dApps (“Marathons”) using Haskell & Plutus

  • Assessment Breakdown:

    1. Haskell Theory – 20%
    2. Plutus Theory – 30%
    3. Haskell Practicals – 20%
    4. Plutus Practicals – 30%

🚀 Part C: Advanced Credentials (CG-AHP-OC)

Capstone phase targeting production-grade Cardano mainnet applications. Candidates must hold Part B credentials or complete all theory and practical quizzes. Success measured by real-user adoption and commercialization.

  • Eligibility: Part B completion or pass all quizzes & practicals

  • Focus Areas: Mainnet deployment, CI/CD, formal methods, maintenance

  • Assessment Breakdown:

    1. Haskell Theory – 10%

    2. Plutus Theory – 15%

    3. Haskell Practicals – 20%

    4. Plutus Practicals – 25%

    5. Production dApps – 30%

      • Real-world use cases (DeFi, Real Estate, Gaming, Infrastructure)
      • Rigorous testing, commercialization, ongoing support

🔍 Summary

The Coxygen Global Haskell Plutus Onchain Credentials course is a three-tiered programme—Beginners, Intermediate and Advanced—designed to equip students with the skills and certifications needed to develop, deploy and maintain Cardano smart contracts and dApps. Through inclusive, hands-on practicals and on-chain credentialing, participants will bridge technology gaps, drive innovation, and contribute to global economic development.

Above all, it is for diverse communities, inclusive by design, caters for all languages and is available 24/7 for global Cardano members.
