ok now for the rest
It looks like a list of classes you took as part of a program (or parts of a couple). List the program and where you took it, that will suffice in my opinion. A list of classes does nothing for me. You’ll be putting your knowlege in your job responsibilities so some will be taken care of there like handling work comp.
If there is a job you are applying for that requires one of those certificates, list it for them so they know you are “certified” but mostly getting a certificate means you took a class as part of a program. The program is what’s important or if you are “certified” to do something not everyone can do.
You do not need to list such class as exel or computer classes – under skills you will list proficient in Excel, etc.
And make different personalized cover letters to go with your resume – one of my pet peeves is getting a resume for a job when they want to do something completely different.
Go to an employment agency, or resume service and they will help
you with compiling the appropriate information, and placement
services. There is generally no charge to the applicant/you for
this… the prospective employers pay the fees.
