How to include relevant coursework on your resume
2
Make Sure Your Placement Is Accurate

• The placement of your coursework information can
  create a big difference in the effectiveness of
  your resume. If your resume is meant to highlight
  your educational achievements, you may place it
  near the top of your document. However,
  coursework showing your experience or skills
  could be placed in the skills section. If your
  coursework is related to a specific type of job,
  you may include it in the education section.

3
Include Only The Most Relevant Details

• You may mention the relevant coursework alone
  instead of adding other classes to your resume.
  This is also a good place to highlight any
  volunteer opportunities youve undertaken if you
  dont have any prior work experience.

4
Highlight The Coursework With Academic
Achievements

• You can make your coursework more credible to the
  recruiter if it is supported by high grades that
  you have achieved in your classes. You may also
  add related educational awards to help create a
  positive impression on your potential employer.
  You can mention your academic honors, awards and
  other test scores that are relevant to your
  resumes purpose.

5
Mention Relevant Personality Factors or Experience

• If you have a skill that complements your
  coursework, you may include it on your resume.
  For example, if you are applying for a position
  as a content writer and mention coursework in
  which you were required to create an online
  magazine, you could discuss your ability to
  create search engine optimized content. Another
  method is to add relevant projects that youve
  completed. For example, you may mention any
  research papers you wrote that are pertinent to
  the job.

6
Include Online Courses

• Many people take online courses in their free
  time to enhance their professional skills. You
  can add these courses to your resume if they are
  relevant to your job application. If you have
  taken an optional course designed to improve your
  performance at work, include any relevant
  experience you gained from it.

7
Make Sure to Include The Job Posts Keywords

• You may include keywords from the job post when
  discussing your coursework. The employer may find
  it relevant and thoughtful, and it can also help
  your resume make it through any applicant
  tracking systems the employer may be using. For
  example, if the employer talks about the
  importance of programming skills in their job
  posting, you can discuss a project in which you
  used JavaScript to help create a website. 

8
Create an Additional Section if Needed

• You may create a subsection in the education
  section of your resume to make your coursework
  look more relevant to the job. You may use
  detailed bullet points mentioning crucial
  information about the coursework. 
• For example, if you include writing coursework,
  you may mention any specific writing formats or
  referencing styles you learned. You may create
  another section if you are creating an online
  resume that anyone can access. In some cases, it
  may be better to list your coursework details on
  a subsection on your webpage dedicated to your
  educational achievements.

9
Finally, Always Stay Relevant

• Any coursework you put on your resume must always
  be related to the job. It should be direct enough
  to convince the employer that you have the
  required skill set for the position. You may also
  include your most recent coursework if it applies
  to the position youre seeking.
