Cheapish ARGUS training/certification. Should I pursue?

Hey WSO,

I've have the opportunity to pursue ARGUS certification/training online for under $600 through a partnership with my university.

I have no experience in ARGUS, but know I'll be using it in my upcoming acquisitions summer internship.

Basically... do you think it's worth the $600 to get certification + a head start on my internship or should I try and get a head start by using the free trial and other online content.

Other possibly relevant info: I'm a Junior - I've had two previous RE related internships - I'm good with tech

I'd for sure recommend it, ask for it for Christmas lol. Though not required, it'll be a great thing to add to your resume imo, never hurts to add more stuff like this and it can expose you to different roles later on.
