WSP/BIWS/CFI courses on your resume - good or bad?

I was recently researching some courses to take during my internship period, but I've read a few posts on here that do not recommend having these certificates on your resume because it opens you up to more challenging technical questions.

Is this true? Or will the benefit of having it on your resume (and the knowledge) outweigh the technical questions that you will be asked anyway?

This. Definitely looks better. As far as more technical questions, it’s an internship. They shouldn’t expect you to know everything.
