How would you go about incorporating information about a CELTA or any other certificate in your CV?

Thanks a ton,
Jacob

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. IF I understand correctly, it would simply be a matter of putting it under a subheading of "education", e.g.:

EDUCATION

Your High School
Where It Was
1990-1994
Diploma 1994

Whatever University of Something
Where It Was
1995-1999
Bachelor of Education 1999

CELTA Certificate
Where It Was
2000

I agree with johnpartree. Just list it with the other info.

If you feel you need to provide the certificate itself, scan it or photocopy it, and get it notarized or otherwise certified as official. Employers ought to realize that during the job hunting process, you can't send the original everywhere.

Scan all your stuff. It's nice to be able to attach things to emails. Don't forget reference letters as well. And get them BEFORE you leave your job. Trying to hunt down past employers is a pain!

John, you understood perfectly, that's exactly what I was looking for.

And good idea to scan all my stuff to be able to email it or print it off at a whim. I'm on it.

Thanks a ton!

I also suggest emailing your scanned documents to yourself so that they're readily available for printing or for forwarding to a potential employer regardless of your location.
