Online executive education courses

I wanted to ask about online executive education programs as I'm at that stage in my career where I'd like to start transferring into a management, specifically CFO, role at some point. I currently work as the head of FP&A at a corporate, with prior background in asset management, Big Four and investment banking.

What I'm looking for is some sort of overview course that gives an intro to being an executive/leader, i.e the CFO track. Prefer/require something that is online, and from a recognised university/business school (so that lets be honest, I can put something on my CV that people will recognise), while at the same time not being overly long in terms of time commitment or expensive, right now just want more of a taster than something that is too full on.

Questions:

1) Have people seen any benefit from such programs?

2) Anything to recommend? I've seen some "MBA Essentials" courses such as this: https://www.sbs.ox.ac.uk/programmes/executive-edu…

But also things like "Leadership Essentials": https://execed.business.columbia.edu/programs/leo…!

What would be the most beneficial for someone looking to get started in a management role?
