How to write Resume Certifications section

Certifications and Licensure Section

In some states certain jobs require you to be certified by a local or national agency. In these cases your employer will need proof that you hold the appropriate certificates.

In the certificate section list the name, location and date of the certificates you have that relate to the open position. If you have other certificates that do not relate to the position, you can still list them, however consider what value they add by including them; if they don’t add or enhance your fit to the position, leave them out.
