PBA Labs, a technology education platform for Indonesian talent formerly known as Pelita Bangsa Academy, has officially opened enrollment for the Certified Blockchain Developer Course. This intensive program is designed to take participants from zero to industry ready in Blockchain, Smart Contract, and DeFi development.
The Journey to PBA Labs
Since its founding in October 2023, PBA Labs has reached more than 1,000 talents through training and workshops across cities in Indonesia and within Indonesian communities abroad. Its alumni have won more than USD 56,000 in Hackathon prizes and incubator incentives, secured remote roles at local and global companies, and launched their own Web3 startups. PBA Labs has also delivered corporate and institutional training with KOMDIGI, OJK, several universities, and the Train the Trainers program in Davao, Philippines.
Pelita Bangsa Academy officially changed its name to PBA Labs as its programs grew beyond a single bootcamp, now spanning Certified Courses, Corporate & Institutional Training, and the development of Emerging Technology programs such as Artificial Intelligence.

In Their Own Words
“PBA Labs exists to close the exposure gap Indonesian talent has long faced when it comes to remote work and emerging technology, giving them equal access to compete globally,”
says Jason Yapri, Co-Founder of PBA Labs.
“Indonesian talent does not lack capability. What is often missing is the opportunity to gain exposure, build something real, and test their skills against global industry standards. That is why we do not want participants to simply know how to write smart contracts. We want them to learn to think like engineers, understanding how a system is designed, built, tested, secured, and used in the real world.”
says Yevonnael Andrew, Co-Founder of PBA Labs.
“Blockchain technology continues to grow and is being adopted more widely, both in the private and public sectors.
As it grows, the demand for blockchain talent grows with it. The challenge is not only teaching the theory, but making sure learners are genuinely ready to enter the workforce.
PBA Labs offers a comprehensive blockchain learning program oriented toward industry needs, so learners not only understand the technology, but are also ready to put it into practice.”
says William Sutanto, Co-founder & CEO Indodax.
