The Certified Agentic On-Chain Risk Practitioner (CAORP) Foundation Level is free and open to anyone in the industry.

The global research1 found a wide gap between that appetite and teams' current capability. Only 16% of respondents said they were very confident their team has the skills to govern an AI agent today, while 38% said they were not confident at all or had no capability yet. Nearly a third (31%) expect to send staff for certification within the next 12 months. The demand for training has arrived well ahead of anywhere to get it. The timing isn't optional.
