Do the courses if you want to pad your resume; both the options one and the DFC courses go towards the Derivatives Market Specialist designation (need 5 courses, i forget which other ones).

I don't know much about how well that designation is viewed in the industry. I imagine some HR types seeing it on a resume and being impressed, then forwarding it to the portfolio managers who see it and then shrug their shoulders and say "meh. what else you got?".
