Can professional development training be listed on my résumé?
Direct Answer
Yes. Relevant professional development can generally be included on a résumé.
The Full Answer
A section such as Professional Development, Continuing Education, or Additional Education can be used to identify completed learning that supports your professional background.
List the program accurately, including the provider and completion information where appropriate.
Do not describe a certificate of completion as professional licensure, board certification, a college degree, or another credential unless it actually carries that designation.
Accuracy is more important than making the education sound more impressive than it is.
Your Next Step
Add relevant completed education to an appropriate professional-development section of your résumé.
