How to List a Certification on Your Resume
Always include: the exact name of the certification, the issuing organization, and the year obtained (or expiry date if applicable). Avoid certifications expired more than 3 years ago without renewal — they may raise questions rather than build confidence.
💡 Recommended format: "Google Ads Search — Google (2024)" or "AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate — Amazon (2023, valid through 2026)"
