Wiki Practicode and where to place it on the resume

[sreyburn]

So huge question, Finishing practicode counts as one year on the job training. In a resume i have seen both examples. It posted under education and it posted under work history. What is you advice on where to place it on the resume? I have provided my basic draft so you can see what i mean. Thank you

I put mine under education.

I'd put it under education. Even though it counts as a year of experience towards removal of the Apprentice credential, it's not employment experience.

Also, I'd remove the line about getting the CPC-A credential - you have a CPC. It's not necessary to state that you were initially in apprentice status, and it might be confusing.

That happened to be the line that caught my eye first, and I thought "if she completed Practicode and the CPC course, why does she still have a CPC-A?" Then I had to read closer to see that you listed both CPC and CPC-A. I wouldn't want a recruiter to skim your resume quickly like I did and dismiss it because they saw CPC-A listed.
