Are certifications worth it while job hunting? - 5 weeks in

I am considering a short certificate to improve my chances as a forklift operator. This is my first time dealing with any of this. I am unsure whether employers value it. Which ones are overrated?

Check a dozen job postings first. If most ask for the same certificate, it is probably worth it.

The workforce centre told me about training funds I qualified for. It covered most of my course.
