Bloomberg Market Concepts (BMC) is one of Bloomberg's self-paced, certification courses. It explores the foundations of our global financial system and economy while teaching you the most frequently used commands on the Bloomberg platform.

Core Aspects:

• Four core modules:
  • Economics
  • Equities
  • Fixed Income
  • Currencies
     
• Some modules take longer than others to complete. Allow 3 hours minimum for each, particularly Equities and Fixed Income.
   
• You do not need to complete the course in one session, but you must finish it before the expiration date posted in your BMC account or your graduation date, whichever comes first.
   
• Complete modules in any order and pause or resume at any time, after viewing the Introduction video first.
   
• Multiple quizzes and case studies throughout the course assess your understanding of the material.
   
• You will receive a certificate from Bloomberg upon successful completion of all required components. List it on your resume.
