Not to raise the oft-repeated thread of "are bartending schools worth it?"
but...
I expect that a bartending "certificate" is about as good as the paper it is
printed on. Not that it is "worthless", but that there is no real recognized
"certification" (besides the various state-run tests, which aren't interested
at all in your bartending knowledge, just your food-service hygene
knowledge)... so if the joint you are interviewing with can look at your
certification and get a warm feeling that their prospective hire has gone
"somewhere" and shown "somebody" that they know the basics of bartending...
then great.
You should think of taking a bartending school as more self-education, then
achieving some sort of certified rating that will actually mean something to
somebody else.
