How do you list certificates on Resume and LinkedIn? - Vle045 - 05-04-2021
Is there a “right” way to list certificates on a resume/LinkedIn? Years ago, I earned an undergraduate certificate. I list that along with my BS degree. It took me about 2 years to earn and a B&M school. (I also have it in my signature here)
Now, there are a TON of other options available. As an example, I am finishing up the certificate program on Diversity, Equity & Inclusion that was offered through USF. It lasted about 7 weeks, I think. Totally different from my other education. So would I list something like that with my other education? Or is it a whole other thing? I do share all of my various badges on LinkedIn. I will probably continue to complete other free or low cost certificates that come up. (Lifelong learning and all that jazz)

It's not for the certificates that you've mentioned but here's how Google suggests that you list certificates on LinkedIn.

Yes, since it's an undergrad cert from a college, you would treat it as a "degree" in that you would place it with your AA, BA, etc. This is separate and distinct from an IT cert or something along those lines.
