Hi all, if one purchases and completes the WSO LBO Modeling course and receives the certificate, do you think it is worth listing that credential on their Linkedin profile under the "licenses & certifications" section? Do you guys think it will look trivial and a bit cringe, or is it fine?

I don’t think it really helps at all to list it, and it could hurt if people perceive it as compensating for other weakness. PE firms don’t really care about certifications and I don’t think it will open any doors. The benefit of those courses is you are more prepared for interviews / work, but taking a course by itself doesn’t really say much.
