under the "education" section, something along the lines of "Certificate in Quantitative Finance, awarded by 7City Learning", followed by your average exam mark (assuming you're proud of that) & a brief description of what is covered. don't assume that the reader has heard of the course, but don't assume they want to know all about the details of it either.

what if you are currently enrolled in it? can you do something like "expected December '07" (like you would if you were getting your bachelors or masters)?

Yes, isn't CQF just a course and exam administered by 7City, a commercial entity?

I've done that on my resume (putting 7city down) when I was looking for work, and none of the non-UK firms have any clue as to what that is (with the exception of firms who actually know what the CQF is). I eventually resorted by adding something with Wilmott on the same line.

really, it's just a sentence or two conveying that part of your education. exact words are surely not important? anyway, even if no-one has heard of 7city or whoever awarded whatever qualifications you do have, making mention of it gives them the chave to google before interview if they like.
