Bloomberg Certificate (Self-study)

Bloomberg Market Concepts (BMC) is an e-learning course that provides an introduction to financial markets.

Upon successful completion you will earn the Bloomberg Certification. Depending on how much you already know about financial markets, the program takes between 5 and 8 hours to complete. You can sign up for free at portal.bloombergforeducation.com/register. In order to get free access, you must use your udel.edu email address.
