Financial Modelling Certification

Hello folks,
I'm interning at a boutique in Europe and about to graduate from a M.Sc. in Finance, I thought it could be of interest to find some sort of certification for my Excel skills. What do you guys think? Anyone has experience in that domain? I googled the thing but most of results looks like scam...
Thanks!

Take a BIWS course, but dont talk about getting a certificate

I would second this. It may seem counter-intuitive, but taking the course and not mentioning it on your resume might help you more. Just impress them with your technical knowledge during interviews, and don't mention that you took the modeling course.
