Hey there,
So sorry for the delayed answer here dude. I was on the road for a while and juuuust got back.

But lemme answer your post:

Sooo to answer your question: None.

All of these things are professional certifications which are more or less totally irrelevant to your MBA application. My advise to you: Instead of this stuff, focus on your ACHIEVEMENTS, your LEADERSHIP, your BUSINESS SKILLS, PRESENTATION SKILLS, and TEAMWORK (amongst other things).

The schools don't really care about your technical achievements or certificates since it is not their focus (rather MANAGEMENT is!)

All the best!
