Bloomberg Market Concepts (BMC) is an 8-hour self-paced e-learning course that provides a visual introduction to the financial markets.
BMC consists of four modules: Economics, Currencies, Fixed Income and Equities using material from Bloomberg data, news, analytics and television. There are 120 assessment questions throughout the four modules. Upon successful completion of all modules, you will obtain an e-certificate of completion from Bloomberg.

Bloomberg is now offering FREE access to BMC, Bloomberg’s certification program, via the web.
Where do I register?
Students without current BMC credentials can create and access from this portal: https://portal.bloombergforeducation.com/sign_up, using your SMU email address.

In both instances, a certificate of achievement will be issued to students upon successful completion of the program, just as is done with the terminal version.
