The government of El Salvador is aiming to equip 80,000 public officials with comprehensive Bitcoin certification programs to help them gain competencies in strategic management and public policy.
The National Bitcoin Office of El Salvador (ONBTC) will provide training and certification in Bitcoin for the country’s public officials.
The Central American country of El Salvador, which has taken a Bitcoin-friendly approach, has launched a training program to provide public officials with knowledge on strategic management and public policy regarding the use of Bitcoin as a legal tender. The 160-hour virtual and asynchronous training program, “Public Administration Certification 1,” consists of seven modules, with each module detailing various concepts, laws, skills, and management issues related to the use of Bitcoin as a legal tender.

With this belief, she plans to announce more training initiatives. Herbert noted that these projects are commitments to El Salvador’s long-term success and low time preference for Bitcoin (and technology) policy.
