The following link will take you to a document prepared by Bloomberg, showing the
"grid" of courses in the program as of August 2006 (the most current version of the program):

Please also review the program information available through the Bloomberg
system's CERT (certification) screen:

- There are two certificates available: Equity and Fixed Income. You may earn certification in either or both. After watching the three introductory videos and passing the associated tests, there are five videos to watch and five tests to pass to earn Equity certification, and a different set of five videos and tests to earn Fixed Income certification. To be fully certified, you need to watch 13 videos and pass 13 tests.
- Courses are available online and are taken by watching videos through the Bloomberg system.
The videos average approximately 30 minutes each in duration; however,
additional time may be needed to practice the steps and shortcuts to prepare
for the test.
- Each video has a corresponding test, which is taken through the Bloomberg
system. In order to successfully complete the test, some further
exploration on the Bloomberg system, beyond the subjects covered in the video,
may be necessary.
- Overall, individuals with little or no prior experience with Bloomberg may
expect to spend approximately 1 hour on each video/test combination.
Students interested in more information about the online Bloomberg Global Product Certification should contact Assistant Professor Carissa Holler (certified in both Equity and Fixed Income) in the Business and Economics Library.
