I would put in Basic Leadership Course and Advanced Leadership Course just because it helps employers realize that you have leadership skills that have been developed.

Interesting idea. I don't even mention rank on my LinkedIn. Thanks for sharing, or is there more ?

I have 4.5 years of training courses and nearly three dozen correspondence courses recorded, how much space does that need? No, its a bit irrelevant.

SGT (Join to see) - I was an employer for over 20 years before I retired. I wouldn't even guess how many people I either hired or one of my managers hired, but, unless I your plan is to work for civil service or someone intimately familiar with military schools an the MOS structure, it is doubtful they have a clue. My first job, other than a brief stint with civil service, was a CWO-4 retiree that hired me because he said he knew what it took to be an SNCO. Never paid any attention to the years of training and education in the military. That is my objective opinion. Find a way to get an interview and sell yourself on how you benefit the organization. No disrespect, just what I have observed. Depends on the job, management jobs, leadership schools. Technical job related training. Even more important, success stories. Each tailored to the job you are looking for.
