Corporate Finance Institute for breaking into IB?

So, learning financial modelling is key before landing an FT role but what do you guys think of the CFI's FMVA (financial modelling certificate). I know it's aimed at career progression but I've tested their free courses and an undergrad could learn their modelling skills from them. They also have a capital markets and credit analyst course in the making.

Thoughts on using this as a tool to break into IB?
