Certified Energy Contracts & Blockchain Legal Technologist (CECBLT)®
Certification Overview
The Certified Energy Contracts & Blockchain Legal Technologist (CECBLT)® is a next-generation credential that redefines legal and contractual expertise for professionals in the energy and oil & gas sectors. Replacing traditional contract management certifications, this certification responds to the growing demand for legal professionals, compliance officers, and contract analysts who can seamlessly integrate blockchain technologies, AI-powered legal tools, and smart contract frameworks into their operations.
The CECBLT® equips professionals with the legal-tech proficiency to navigate digital contracting ecosystems, ensure cross-border compliance, and deploy automated dispute resolution systems. This certification is designed to bridge the digital skills gap between legal and technical teams, fostering global fluency in blockchain governance, smart legal design, and energy-specific digital risk assessments.

In this new environment, legal and compliance professionals must possess not only regulatory knowledge but also technical expertise in blockchain, AI, and digital platforms.

It aligns with emerging global trends and ANSI-aligned best practices to deliver future-proof legal capabilities.
