AFAIK, OPT is given for full time degree seeking students not for certification programs.

First, F1 is not for online classes. Physical presence is required.

Second, you can get OPT only for a higher educational level. So, if you got a Masters degree and used OPT, you could only get another OPT for a PhD.
