Does this count towards CPD?
Yes, as evidence. Your certificate is verifiable CPD evidence: it states the hours of recorded instruction you completed and the learning outcomes of every lesson, and anyone can check it at the verification link printed on it. Amatle Institute is not an accredited CPD provider, so you log it with your professional body (SAICA, SAIPA, IAC, ICBA, CIGFARO or ASSA, for example) under that body's own rules. See what each body publishes.
