# Solana Campus

Solana Campus is an open curriculum for Solana, built by JPool. It takes you from your first stake all the way to operating a validator, taught by practitioners. The courses are free and fully self-paced, so you can learn at your own speed.

## How it works

Campus is organized as a university-style program of study. Each course is made of short lessons, and every lesson ends with a short exam. Passing the exams moves you through the curriculum and up a series of academic levels, from newly enrolled to expert.

When you complete the full program, you earn a verifiable certificate that records your standing. It can be shared as proof of what you have learned.

## Courses

The curriculum spans six courses, progressing from beginner foundations to advanced, applied material:

| Course | Level |
| --- | --- |
| [Blockchain Fundamentals](https://campus.jpool.one/courses/blockchain-fundamentals) | Beginner |
| [The Solana Network](https://campus.jpool.one/courses/solana-network) | Beginner |
| [DeFi Essentials](https://campus.jpool.one/courses/defi-essentials) | Intermediate |
| [Staking & Liquid Staking](https://campus.jpool.one/courses/staking-liquid-staking) | Intermediate |
| [Digital Assets & Ownership](https://campus.jpool.one/courses/digital-assets) | Intermediate |
| [Applied DeFi on Solana](https://campus.jpool.one/courses/applied-defi) | Advanced |

The Staking & Liquid Staking course covers JSOL and how JPool works in depth, so it is a natural next step after the [Core Concepts](../core-concepts/jsol-and-apy.md) here in the docs.

Solana Campus lives at [campus.jpool.one](https://campus.jpool.one). It is a separate learning portal, distinct from the JPool staking app.
