How to show your education on a CV
You know that you need to show off your education on your CV - but how? What details should you include? Check out this infographic to find out - you'll need to be armed with your qualifications, years of completion and maybe a bit more detail if you're a recent graduate or school leaver. Putting education on your CV is really very straightforward.
Adding professional development to your CV
Don't forget that if you've done any training, certifications or accreditations since leaving formal education, you can include that as education on your CV too! Depending on how relevant and weighty your education section looks, you can either add your professional development there, in the same format, or create a separate Professional Development section entirely. The choice is yours! Just remember to keep it recent and relevant.
