 * You must add the `certification` field in the list of fields to be fetched (in
   the plugin settings) and then you must customize the template for the profile
   shortcode.
 * To customize the rendering of the shortcodes you must create a `linkedin` folder
   in your theme and then copy the template file you want to modify.
    The default
   template files, `recommendations.php` and `profile.php`, are located in the plugin’s`
   template` folder.
 * Just add a section with the certifications, see the LinkedIn documentation about
   this field, here: [https://developers.linkedin.com/documents/profile-fields#certifications](https://developers.linkedin.com/documents/profile-fields#certifications)
 * It should be straightforward 🙂

 * Ok my PHP is not very good… I only know the basics.
    This is how far I got, but
   for some reason the startDate and the authorityname won’t show up as I expected.
   Tried lots of variations before asking your help here…
 *     ```
       <?php if (isset($profile->certifications)): ?>
       <div class="section">
       <div class="heading"><?php _e('Certifications', 'wp-linkedin'); ?></div>
       <?php foreach ($profile->certifications->values as $v): ?>
       <div class="education">
       	<div class="school"><strong><?php echo $v->name; ?></strong></div>
       	<div class="degree"><?php echo $v->authority->name; ?> | <?php echo $v->startDate->year; ?></div>
       </div>
       <?php endforeach; ?>
       </div>
       <?php endif; ?>
       ```
   
 * Can you take a look at it?

 * authority name and start date are complex structures, I suggest you use `var_dump`
   to see what’s inside and adapt your code
