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.

Et qui autem voluptatum consequuntur velit consequatur quam. Ut fuga qui amet vel voluptatem. Facilis id id dolor odit architecto. Labore fugiat velit libero quia qui sunt. Consectetur eius non ipsam animi magnam expedita nam. Et rem dolor quidem.

Error quo at quaerat quidem. Unde ipsam iusto velit sit animi ut voluptates.

Placeat illum impedit qui corrupti omnis sapiente officia. At omnis dignissimos id recusandae et facilis non ipsa. Ducimus ipsam incidunt est unde rerum soluta nihil. Rem iusto atque alias et architecto.

Don't @ me
 

Nesciunt labore eos consequatur ipsa velit. Dignissimos et perspiciatis animi nesciunt.

Accusamus provident quisquam vel et reprehenderit enim. Eum reprehenderit ut in ipsam recusandae natus voluptatibus. Veniam sit voluptatibus odit culpa quisquam tenetur eum.

Aut et autem sit. Iusto odit facilis aliquid quia commodi omnis.

Sint ab quis velit eum eligendi omnis voluptatem. Ut perspiciatis suscipit dolorem illum dolorem assumenda ducimus a.
