Any opinions on the usefulness of the Wharton Asset Management Online Course? Would it be looked at favourably since it's an online certification?
Context: I am a first year F.I. Analyst and went to a university that would be considered semi-target in the US, so I was wondering whether the "prestige" factor of Wharton could be beneficial for me or whether it's best to just do the CFA.

If your employer pays for it, the certification might be marginally beneficial.
I wouldn't compare it to the CFA, at all
