I recently met with a Robert Half recruiter and while I feel they probably won't do much for me, they gave me access to their training portal.
There are a LOT of good courses in the portal including extensive SAP ERP training. The courses are generally four hours each and some qualify for CPE credits. They have testing at the end of each course.
Would it be acceptable to list the relevant training courses I complete in my resume?
Absolutely! Initiative to continuously upgrade your experience and eduction is a plus. Too many people think, 'well, I went to college for four years and worked for five that's enough.' It's not. Include it at the end and as much as you want to.
Thanks, I wasn't sure what kind of validity it had however having just completed the test for the first module it wasn't "easy" and I did learn a lot.
They even have a "six sigma" blackbelt course, I am not sure if it qualifies for actual certification (I haven't started it yet, I am concentrating on the most relevant coursework first).
I agree with your theory that continuous improvement and have added quite a bit of additional training over and above the degree. Maybe some people can get away with just completing college but I have the disadvantage of being a career changer in a very tough job market so I have to do everything I can to improve my marketability.

Yes, but only if it is related somehow to the work to be performed in that job. otherwise it looks like padding, or that you really want some other kind of work. If nothing else, it takes up valuable space that you could use for more relevant information. General topics like time managment, problem solving, and decision making apply to almost all jobs.
