I would love to hear other opinions on this subject. Everyone seems to have a different take on adding certificates and online courses to your resume.
Personally, I would see any sort of online course or certification positively as it shows you are learning. Whether or not you can back it up when you get it for an interview is a different matter entirely but having traditional BS/MS doesn't bypass that hurdle either.
Additionally, it's difficult to surmise how certain credentials are viewed. I graduated from a tech bootcamp (i.e. hundreds of hours of instruction) and it weighed negatively on my resume in most cases (and when it was positive it was largely from other graduates, giving it more of a "club" credential vibe than an actual value signal).
In either case, I'd never recommend against obtaining a credential (even if it's not going to go on a resume) as the subject matter will likely be useful. Just be sure to only try to apply a credential when it's relevant, not as an educational stand-in.
