CIRA on resume?

Hey guys, quick question. So I work in restructuring so I'm currently taking the courses for CIRA. CIRA stands for Certified Insolvency and Restructuring Advisor, and it teaches you/demonstrates you know the fundamentals of a restructuring. Since a restructuring is fundamentally similar to an LBO ( a restructuring is just recapitalization which is an LBO) I figured it would be a good thing to show I have this knowledge, however to be certified you have to have 5 years of finance related experience after completing the courses. So while I would be trained, I won't be certified. How should I display this on a resume?

you can say Candidate, which is accurate. I have done that in the past, it's easy to explain if asked and brings up the conversation.
