Here's one for you guys that's related. I currently haven't listed this on my resume and don't plan to unless I can somehow find a way to get it completed. A few years back I started a certificate program with some colleagues at a local university. I actually go to that uni now and will finish my undergrad this semester, but back then we were taking their continued education program for a certificate in Urban Planning. We did so more for a means to get our jackass boss to shut the **** up about outside educational experience. Same jackass boss that by filing a claim with this same university to get his records, we learned he fell a couple classes short of actually graduating. So he'd been lying about having his undergrad degree his entire career (we got tipped off from a co-worker he went to college with about his not having graduating even though he claims the degree). Anyways, the program was about a year long program consisting of 5 required classes and 3 electives. Each class was about 2 - 3 days at about 4 hours a day costing around $400. I completed 7 of 8 classes, but the last class was only offered once a year and was required and I was out of town the two years I could've taken it. Well, they discontinued the program so the class hasn't been offered the past 3 years. The program is still in their program list but because of the economic recession and a huge downsizing of the industry, they haven't been offering classes. I still have to talk to the university some more to see if there's a way I can take some other class or something, but it looks doubtful.
So in keeping in line with this thread, based on my circumstances, would you include this certificate program on your resume or not. I haven't and don't really plan on it, but am interested to see if others would based on the circumstances I've presented.
