Looking for some Opinions on Education

I was wondering what the BP community thinks about these types of certifications: 


Mortgage Broker

Specialized Mortgage Broker

Commercial Real Estate Broker

Residential Real Estate Broker

The fastest each schooling can be completed is about 4 months. 

Do you think they are useful not only for personal use as a means to help with investing in real estate but also as something that can help me earn a living? I look forward to hearing some of your opinions.

I think that understanding mortgages and lending is very useful. Most of us are buying properties with the help of a lender - so being an expert in that area will certainly give you an edge with investing.
