The easiest and most common way to include your certifications is to just add a new section dedicated to them. First, create a heading on your CV named ?Certifications,? and create entries underneath. Then, under your designated subheading, list each certification in reverse-chronological order.

Here's one golden rule you can abide by: The only credentials that deserve to be listed after your name at the top of your resume are doctorate-level academic degrees and highly-specialized designations that indicate you're qualified to work in a specific industry (such as an RN or a PE).

When should you list credentials on a resume? You can list credentials, like doctorates and specialized degrees, right after your name at the top of a resume. You can list all other credentials, such as important strengths and skills, later in your resume where they fit most naturally.

Generally, your certification and license sections should go at the bottom of your resume?below your work experience but above education.
