CFI/WSO/Wall Street Prep as NON-finance major?

Currently a math major studying at Oxbridge, looking to break into the buy-side or investment banking. As someone coming from a target school NOT studying finance, would completing these courses show that I know finance to a recruiter? Should I put these on my resume? Will the target math major + finance course help me secure an interview? From other reddit posts it seems like it doesn't help much at getting the interview but it will help for the actual interview. I've been struggling to get any interviews so I was hoping this could boost my chances.
