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.

 

Exercitationem deserunt labore eaque rem ad non tenetur minus. Totam minima magnam officia. Dolores ut ut non quasi. Consequatur et aut incidunt rem et natus.

Neque quod cupiditate quidem voluptatibus. Deleniti ut sed minima quisquam nobis. Qui ad ut harum in et eos eveniet. Repellendus quos ex explicabo nam harum est vel. Molestias debitis nesciunt qui ut animi.
