It is generally best to separate education from training. Include this section when you wish to focus on special courses and seminars or other forms of continuing education. Training also includes college courses taken to improve your job performance.

This section gives you the opportunity to highlight any special skills, training courses and seminars related to your field -- for example, operation of business machines, machinery, computers, medical equipment, tools, etc.

This is also an opportunity to focus the reader on measurable skills you have acquired through the course of your professional career.

The Training section of your resume can also have the following titles:

  • Clinics
  • Conferences
  • Courses
  • Courses and Seminars
  • Professional Training
  • Relevant Training
  • Presentations and Public Appearances
  • Professional Development
  • Seminars
  • Specialized Training
  • Training Seminars
  • Training, Skills & Seminars
  • Workshops
  • Workshops & Seminars
