Financial Modelling Online Courses - Does Brand Name Matter?

I'm looking to take an online financial modelling course, but I was wondering whether their brand name/reputation matters?

For example, I could take one from NYU Stern that costs $1,600,

or I could take the one WSO recommends which cost $500, but has some shitty brandname like 'WallStreetPrep'.

Considering I want to put this on my CV, is it worth paying the extra for the brand name?
