Are there any FREE certificates I can earn on Linkedin to help my chances at getting a job in Investment Banks or Hedge Funds?

I dont want to pay thousands of dollars for a CFA designation. Nor paying hundreds-thousands of dollars for a IB/HF specific online learning course to earn a PASS badge. I am trying to use my Linkedin profile to connect myself with Investment Banks and Hedge Funds. Are there any well known "FREE" certificates in the finance industry that I can earn by taking a "FREE" Linkedin course and passing the end test and I get rewarded with an icon that I can post on my Linkedin Profile?
