  • I realise Udemy courses are NOT "accredited" in any way but I'm curious to know if anybody has been brave enough to list completed ones on a their CV/Resume? Do most people just do them to expand their own personal knowledge/skill set?

      I don't think you would put them on a resume, but after completing one on HTML or CSS I would feel confident to add those to my 'familiar with' tech skillset, for example.
      Similarly with the MS Office ones. If you work through the Excel courses you can reasonably claim some proficiency.

      • That's what I thought as well. I don't think I even would mention Udemy unless specifically asked. Instead would say it's been acquired through self learning.

          I wouldn't worry. Nobody ever asks. If somebody asked me about a skill I had only through Udemy I would say, "I've used it a fair bit in some personal projects and learned the basics online." but nobody ever asks.
          If the job is Excel heavy, people might ask a question like how do you best use pivot tables. If the job is MS Word heavy they might ask how to use styles (and the answer should be "as little as possible if you have a complex formatted document because they can automatically destroy it!" But I have opinions!) or other formatting tweaks.
          I've never been asked how I learnt something, it was always how I knew how to use something.

      CVs are an art-form themselves.

      You could write that you single-handedly wrote the W3C specification and an HR intermediary for a reputable company will reject your application since they couldn't find the word "HTML".

      Sorry. I've got it in for HR.
