Bitcoin is more than a digital currency. It is a programmable network powered by a unique scripting system that controls how coins are spent. The Bitcoin Scripting Foundations Certification is a hands-on technical course designed for developers who want to understand how Bitcoin works at the protocol level. You will learn how spending conditions are defined, validated, and executed using Bitcoin Script. The course begins with core Bitcoin concepts, including UTXOs, transaction structure, signatures, and locking and unlocking logic. From there, you will explore opcodes, standard script templates, multisig setups, timelocks, hashlocks, and advanced spending policies. Each module combines clear instruction with practical developer labs. You will work through raw transaction flows, decode scripts, use Bitcoin development tools, test edge cases on regtest or testnet, and troubleshoot common script failures. By the end of the course, you will be able to analyze Bitcoin spending logic, write custom script conditions, and apply scripting concepts to Bitcoin applications, wallets, and developer tooling. This certification helps developers strengthen their technical understanding of Bitcoin Script and apply protocol-level concepts to real Bitcoin transaction workflows.
