From experience I've never had much faith in CLE courses. Whether legal or IT, they tend either be trying to sell a service or they rehash well know stuff in a generic packaging. Emotional intelligence is a classic example. It was put out by Daniel Goleman in the 1990s and it's a good thing to know as a manager, but it gets repackaged in all sorts of "innovative/novel" marketing garbage for better labor resource utilization blah blah. There are few gems out there, but it seems from what I've seen CLEs tend to just be a hand your money over for the required two or three hours and make me training income scam.
