How to List Continuing Education Courses
You have two options for listing your TypeWell continuing education courses on LinkedIn, and each has its own advantages. Choose the format that best fits your career goals and what you'd like to highlight.
Option 1: Lump Them In With Basic Training
If you want to keep your profile clean and focused, you may choose to list your continuing education courses under the same entry as your Basic Skills Course.
Template Text:
School: TypeWell
Degree: Basic Transcribing Course + Advanced Courses
Field of Study: Real-Time Speech-to-Text Transcription
Description: Completed the Basic Skills Course [list year] and further specialized in [list specialized courses here, like Math Mode, Turbo Course, etc.]. Received continuous feedback and training from expert teachers to refine my transcribing skills.
Option 2: List Them Separately
If you want to spotlight your specialized skills, consider listing each continuing education course as a separate entry under the "Education" section.
Template Text:
School: TypeWell
Degree: [Specialized Course Title, like 'Math Mode']
Field of Study: Real-Time Speech-to-Text Transcription
Description: This specialized course enabled me to [describe what skills or understanding the course gave you, like "transcribe complex mathematical equations effectively"].
Feel free to pick and choose between these options based on what you want your LinkedIn profile to communicate.
