CFA Institute Investments Foundation

I was looking at the CFA website and there is an exam called the CFA Institute Investment Foundations. It seems like a very basic/introductory exam for non-finance professionals. The study material is free and comes directly from the CFA institute. The study material is a book and online videos/classes. Would taking this exam be of any benefit to me? I am already studying for SIE.
