Bloomberg is currently offering FREE access to BMC, Bloomberg’s certification program, via the web, in lieu of a terminal connection. The fee for web access to this program is normally $149USD but is now being waived for academic customers. This program is in place until February 28, 2021.
Students with existing BMC accounts can log-in for free to continue working on their certification on the BMC portal.
Students without current BMC credentials can create these on the portal, using their Dalhousie email address (@dal.ca).
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.
