What do you think about the PC from Columbia University/EDX in Corporate Finance?

do you think its enough valuable for an investment banking internship/1st year? (i also have several freelance experiences on fiverr and other freelance platforms, i have a solid profile in tradingview as well: Thomas_Zito >> 2000 followers, Nominated Editor Pick's 2023, Affiliate Partnership with GoMarkets

  and several certifications from The Forage)

or do you think i should go for FP&A role first, then pay for more educative content (online BSc from LSE, Series from FINRA, WSO...). and finally apply to an investment banking job

* PC = Professional Certificate
