The Financial Trading and Technology Center offers Bloomberg Certification only on Sunday from 10 AM - 2PM. The Bloomberg Certification process allows students to get certified for both equity and debt analysis on the Bloomberg system. There are three separate sections that must be passed; they are:
- 3 introductory videos
- 5 equity videos
- 5 debt videos
All five videos on equity and debt must be passed (70% or higher). There is NO retake for these tests. However, if a student fails an introductory video, he or she has the option of taking and passing an elective video in its place.
To begin taking the tests, a student must have their own account. In order to do this, go through the following steps:
- Hit the red control button on the keyboard
- Rather than logging in with the EDS password, immediately hit the «Go» button
- Fill out the necessary information
It is important to note that being a student is not one of the options that can be chosen. Therefore, pick the desired field you wish to have. After completing the registration process, Bloomberg will either call or e-mail you. You will then asked to log on to a terminal with your new user name and a four digit number will appear. After you clarify that number, your account will be verified.
To obtain the certification use the command BU «Go», for Bloomberg University. Then click on Training Videos and watch the video. Each video lasts about 30 minutes. After watching the video use the command CERT «GO» for the certification program. Click on contact us, and inform the Bloomberg representative of the video number (e.g.: E100) and the verification number which will be given at the beginning of the video. After you have been activated for the test, you will click exams and exam summaries, and click on the exam you wish to take.
