I'm not sure I'd read too much into the fact that the organization is
called the "C++ Institute".  It's entirely possible that the course is a
perfectly good one.

But that's not the way I'd bet.  Here's some discussion about a
different course offered by the same organization:
https://www.quora.com/Are-C++-certificates-offered-by-CPP-Institute-worth-it

Vassilis: Are you referring to this course?
https://www.netacad.com/courses/cla-programming-c/

I presume it's not possible to see the contents of the course without
paying for it, so I can't offer a direct opinion on how good it is
(and I had never heard of the "C++ Institute" until a few minutes ago).
