In fact, you can make infinite logins on bloomberg…you don’t have to be the registered user on the terminal (just know their password/username) BTW, you can easily cheat on the exams by creating two logins, use one to fail all the exams…copy the answers…and then use the other login to “pass” all the exams. But then…what’s the point?
I dont think its that important. I passed the exams but in my old job, I only used less than 10 of the functions. However, it can’t really hurt to pad the resume.

Is it possible for me to learn bloomberg and get this cert, I don’t have a bloomberg terminal at my work, we use a different program called IRESS for australian equities. But I reallywant to learn bloomberg as I will need it overseas I think. Any ideas? Thanks
Bump. I need to get this thing for a class of mine. Schweser or Stalla? Jk. Overall I’m curious how long it takes? Can I knock it all out in a few days?
i did that in college, if i remember correctly its not that hard, but there are a few levels and a project. it took me about two weeks because i was new to BB - you could prob do it pretty quick.
One sunday and a case of beer.
Bloomberg is a maze of little twisting passages, all different.
I have them, it’s nice to be able to say you’re familiar with bloomberg in the interview, but I doubt it’s ever been a factor in a hiring decision.
Is this something I can put on my business card?
Do ppl at BB have to do it?
