Have access to BBG Terminal but no idea what to do? How can I build skills on it?

so i've got access to a bloomberg terminal but i don't need it for my job. i want to learn how to do modelling in my spare time mainly for M&A/ECM/DCM or whichever is easier for a beginner. i don't work in those teams but i know enough about the products.

are there any guides as to what people do on this? i see the tutorials but they're just kind of "ok this is this button, and this function does this. if you want to see this, click on that. thank you goodbye".

they don't really go through a full 'exercise' that you would do in an actual day job.

any ideas?

from the looks of it it looks to be just an intro to various markets products - am i wrong? i've been working in coverage IB for a few years now so have a decent understanding of a broad range of products.

i'm just looking to make the most of the terminal access. i just use it for news and messages at the moment lol.
