Wallstreetprep/WSO necessary for project finance?

I've been in public finance since I graduated and am currently an associate. I've been wanting to get into project finance for a while as it seems a lot more stimulating than project finance in terms of credit, modeling, legal components etc. Being in public finance, I've solely used a program called DBC and next to no excel modeling.

I've been applying for project finance jobs with no luck. Would a course like this almost be necessary since I'm not coming from undergrad straight into a training class? $500 is a bit of money but if I don't really have a great shot otherwise I would think it is worth it.

Interested to see if anyone has any thoughts on this as project finance is so specialized and the modeling is pretty intense compared to a lot of other fields. Thanks!
