How to add Udemy course to your Resume?

Updated: Aug 19, 2020


There isn't standardized way how to add an online course achieved to your resume/CV yet. Many ways and approaches are applied but none of those is the one that would be accepted everywhere. You can list an online course in the section under your work history as "Professional Training" in the following format:

2-4/2020 Social Media Management 2020, John Smith (via Udemy), Certificate of Completion, 32hr

2-4/2020 - shows when did you study the course

Social Media Management 2020 - full official name of the course

John Smith - course creator (the more recognized field professional more value certificate gets)

(via Udemy) - where did you study the course

Certificate of Completion - type of certificate achieved

32hr - average study time (can be found on the certificate or in the course description), I don't recommend list courses with study time under 5-10 hours unless recognized or accredited (rarely found on Udemy)

Why to list Udemy course on your resume at all when it's not recognized or accredited? 

1) Set yourself apart from the other applicants. It’s not every day that an interviewer sees an online course or program on a resume 

2) It demonstrates personal drive and discipline, intellectual maturity, curiosity, and a strong willingness to learn—all of which are important to employers
