Series 79 and CM&AA for Corp strategy ?

Just a general question. Would the Series 79 be useful for someone seeking to advance his career and improve exit opps in internal mgmt consulting given the M&A component of many corporate strategy roles?

Also, does anyone know anything about or anyone who has a Certified M&A Advisors (CM&AA) certification ? Is it an actual resume booster or useful for networking?
