Bloomberg for Education helps universities incorporate the Bloomberg Terminal into their academic programs to better prepare students for the global job market. Universities around the globe use Bloomberg to bring the real world of finance into the classroom, providing students with access to the same information platform used by leading decision makers in business, finance and government.

The portal for Bloomberg for Education is an external-facing web-based portal hosting self-paced e-learning courses that provides an interactive introduction to the financial markets. Users can self-sign up, pay for the course with our payment providers, and pace themselves through Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM)-based video content that is managed and curated by a Learning Management System (LMS). With completion of the course, users will be issued a certificate to proudly display on LinkedIn and resumes. With syllabus-integration, students will learn how to use important analytical functions in the Terminal, conduct economic research and analysis, benefit from a wide-range of pre-built analytical models and more.

The portal leverages modern web technologies and is built to support 120k+ learners 24x7 across the globe. Technologies like AWS and leveraging CDNs help provide fast and seamless services to our clients spread out in various geographic regions.
