How do you stay on top of the news that affects the markets? How do you identify the winners and losers in a volatile market? How can you learn to analyze the markets the way professional traders do?

In The New School’s certificate program in Trading Strategies and Market Analysis, you’ll learn how professional traders use Bloomberg Terminals to analyze recent market trends—and make informed investment decisions—using real-time information on stocks, bonds, currencies, and derivative products.

On The New School’s brand-new state-of-the-art trading floor, you’ll have access to your own Bloomberg Terminal, the leading provider of up-to-the-minute financial data, news, analytics, and trading platforms in today’s markets.

This certificate program will also provide you with the training and hands-on experience you need to take the test for Bloomberg certification. Participants can take the certification test on the terminals at The New School.
