resume question

I am already signed up for ACLS and PALS both of them are in May. Could I put that on my resume and say pending class? or something that lets them know that I will be taking it very shortly.
Resumes were covered in a lab class I had this semester. Our adjunct instructor had 5 years experience in HR. She told us that if you know when your graduation date/ test date is then put the information on your resume with a note that says "expected graduation date . . . " etc.Hope that helps.

I agree. You can list them ... but be sure to say that you expect to take them on XYZ date.

Yes, you can. As the PPs have stated, make sure to include the dates of expected completion.

Thanks guys. that was very helpful.

Alternatively, you could mention this info on your cover letter, and/or talk about it during the interview. Add them to your resume after completing the courses.

Quote from tyvinI wouldn't mention it in my cover letter; it's already being put down on the resume and the interviewer will ask about it when they see that the certs are pending or she/he could talk about it during the interview. There is so much to try and put in the cover letter already without repeating one's self unnecessarily. Then again, there probably isn't a hard and fast rule pertaining to this.
