Should I add a picture of my certification to Linkedin?

Yes – if it matters to the people reading your profile.

Here’s how to add a picture of your certification to your Linkedin profile:

1) Go to your Linkedin profile and scroll down to the Certifications section. Click the + to add new if you haven’t created the certification yet.

2) Fill in as many certification fields as possible. Note: there is no place for a certification image, just a URL. 

3) Add your certification image to one of two places

The first is your Education History. Education is placed lower on a page, and the likelihood of people seeing it will be small. To add your certification image to your Linkedin education history click the edit icon on the education relevant to your certification and upload the media (see below)

The second place is your profile intro. More people will see these images than education because of page placement. To add your certification image to your Linkedin profile introduction click the edit icon in the intro section of your profile and upload the media (see below)
