Certifications worth pursuing while in undergrad?

What certifications can an undergrad pursuing IBD or S&T complete while still in school? I can do Bloomberg Market Concepts, which is free through Terminals in the library.

Is there anything else free (or super low cost) worth pursuing? I know there are some things on DataCamp like Python for Finance, would those be worth anything?

Thanks for whatever help y'all can provide.
