Bloomberg Certifications

Add valuable skills to your resumé

Learning to use the Bloomberg Terminal software can give you an edge in job interviews. By completing the Bloomberg Market Concepts (BMC) and the Bloomberg Environmental, Social, & Governance (ESG) certification process, you can gain a deeper understanding of how businesses operate in the global economy—and how they implement strategies to become better corporate citizens. You'll also show employers that you have the discipline and ability to master new analytics tools.  

Bloomberg Certification

Both certifications are free for members of the Northeastern University community. You can pursue certification on your own or as a member of the Northeastern community. 

  • As a D'Amore-McKim undergraduate student, you'll earn BMC certification if you enroll in Introduction to Business (BUSN 1101) 
  • As a D'Amore-McKim graduate student, you may become certified as part of select courses 
  • If you have a role in the 360 Huntington Fund, you'll typically earn BMC certification as part of that coursework 

When hiring companies see I have a Bloomberg Market Concept certification, they know I've done my homework and have the skills. This certification is an important asset for any company when hiring a team member, and it put me in a favorable position during my hiring process.
