This question is about pilot resumes.
How do I put FAA certification on my resume?
You put your FAA certification on your resume in a dedicated certification section. Depending on the amount of experience that you have, this should be at the top of your resume under your education or near the bottom under your work experience.
If you have more than one certification, you should include all certifications in this special section, and they should be listed in reverse chronological order. This means that your most recently completed certification should be at the top.
If you have more than one certification, you should decide whether all are relevant to the position that you are applying for and eliminate any that do not apply.
In the certification section of your resume, you should list your FAA certification according to the following template:
Name of certification (written out in full)
Name of certifying agency or body
Date of certification/expiration (if applicable)
Location (if applicable)
Ratings
So for the FAA certification, it would look like this:
Commercial Pilot Certificate, Federal Aviation Association
June 2021; Homer, Ohio
Ratings: Instrument rating, multi-engine rating
Additionally, If your certification has an expiration or 'renew by' date, be sure to add that. Only list valid certifications that have not expired. If your certification is in progress, you can add the expected completion date as stated above.
