Students, who are conversant with cutting-edge software used by top financial firms, have a distinct advantage in the job market.   To give our students this advantage, the Garrison Financial Institute provides   instruction leading to Bloomberg Global Product Certification, and access to three Bloomberg electronic-data terminals.  Bloomberg terminals provide access to real-time and historical information on approximately 5 million bonds, equities, commodities, currencies and funds.  The Bloomberg electronic library also comprises data on almost every publicly traded company.  Nearly 250,000 subscribers in over 150 countries from the world's central banks, investment institutions, commercial banks, government agencies, law firms, corporations and news organizations use Bloomberg electronic data.  Sergio Santamaria and Ventsi Stamenov, Institute investment analysts, have devoted countless hours to becoming proficient using the Bloomberg database.   Our students benefit from their expertise when Sergio and Ventsi provide a two-day intensive certification program.  Topics covered range from  Equity Idea Generation; Equity Portfolios; Technical Analysis and Charting; Fundamental Analysis; Funds & ETFs; to Fixed Income topics such as  Credit Analysis; Fixed Income Valuation & Pricing; Municipal Bonds; and  Mortgage Bonds.
