Is the Bloomberg Certification a good way to learn more at an earlyish stage?

I've seen people mention on other threads that its not worth it due to the cost, but I can use a terminal through my university so that isn't a factor. I am a freshman finance major, but I won't be able to take those type of finance courses for a while (at least a year), but I still want to learn more about the markets. Is the Bloomberg Cert the best way to go about that or should I utilize a different resource?

This happened years ago so I may be wrong, but Bloomberg cert is free if your school has the student subscriptions. I took it, or some sort of bloomberg course on the terminal at school. It covered several different topics and how to use the terminal to complete different tasks.
