Best (preferably free) Courses?

Does anyone have advice on the best courses I can use for M&A modeling, FCF, and DCF. I am looking to expand my LinkedIn portfolio by completing online courses to expand my knowledge. I am looking to push towards a career in investment banking. I have been told that one of the best ways to do this is to complete courses and expand your profile. Any tips or links are welcome.

No one is going to care that you have an Modeling course or certificate on your LinkedIn, and there aren't many free courses that will give your a certificate with out paying. Only put certifications if they are actually important and well-regarded, example being CFA or CPA. I could care less if you're WSP accounting certified and you'd be much better off spending your time looking for an internship.
