Questions people ask
How does BBLC relate to other EC-Council blockchain certifications like BDC and BFC?
BBLC is a business leadership certification, while BDC (Blockchain Developer Certification) focuses on technical development skills and BFC (Blockchain Fintech Certification) targets financial applications. BBLC is designed for executives and managers, not developers or fintech specialists.
Do I need to earn a lower-level EC-Council certification before taking BBLC?
No. BBLC is a standalone certification with no mandatory prerequisites. EC-Council states that the course is beginner-friendly and does not require any technical prerequisite knowledge of blockchain or cryptocurrencies.
Is there a hands-on lab component in the BBLC exam?
The official page does not mention a hands-on lab component for BBLC. The program includes assignments and alternative testing methods to keep students engaged, but the exam format is not detailed.
What job roles does the BBLC credential map to?
BBLC prepares professionals for roles such as Blockchain Project Manager, Blockchain Legal Consultant, Blockchain Business Analyst, Blockchain Sales Business Development, Community Manager, and Blockchain Marketing Manager.
Can I recertify by passing a different EC-Council exam?
EC-Council certifications require renewal through continuing education credits. Passing a different exam may contribute to those credits, but specific recertification policies for BBLC are not published on the official page.
Is BBLC available in countries outside the United States?
EC-Council certifications are globally recognized, with certified professionals in over 170 countries. BBLC is likely available worldwide through Pearson VUE testing centers and online proctoring, but regional availability should be confirmed with EC-Council.

What a practice page gives you
1Five to a page
Short enough to finish, long enough to matter.
2Every answer explained
Not only which one is right — why the others are wrong.
3A discussion on each
Ask, answer, and vote. Every question has its own thread.
A question, and the idea behind it
Every question comes from a concept
These are not trivia. Each one is written against a concept in the book, so when you get one wrong there is somewhere to go and find out why.
The visual book
See it once. Carry it into the exam.
The pages shown here come from our AI-900 book — an example of how each concept is written in plain language and, where the idea needs one, drawn as a full page you can take in at a glance.

Why a picture, and not another paragraph
Three reasons, and each one is a real finding rather than a slogan.

You are never asked to read a poster here — only to see how one is built. After that, every other page is legible at a glance.

4One line at the bottom
The sentence to carry into the exam room.
Open book, on purpose
Answer it with the picture beside you
This is the part that teaches. The illustration and the written explanation stay where they are while you work, so a scenario stops being a memory test and becomes something you can simply look at.
It teaches · it does not count
A smartphone uses AI to unlock when the owner looks at the camera. Which AI capability is being used?
AImage classification
BFacial recognition
COptical character recognition
DObject detection
Look at the five steps. Detect finds a face, align straightens it, encode turns it into numbers, search compares it with a stored face, and decide answers one question: is this the same person? Classification would only say “a face”. Detection would only draw a box. Neither decides whose.
Then the page shuts, and it starts counting
The same questions come back with the book closed — that run is the one that counts. After it, your coach picks one thing for tonight, sized to the time you have, and brings pages back before you lose them.
