I would like to create a sentence, in which I express, that I have (successfully) gotten a few certifications, but I feel like this sounds too informal for a letter of application.

Has anyone got a better idea or is this way of saying it already appropriate?

Thanks

  • It depends on what they are formally referred to as -- there are "Certifications" as such, and there are others.
