Get a certificate for catching the bus!

[aa6972]

The real question is how many UCAS points will you get for it?

And will you put that in your CV ?

I would. Its a good sign of your experience in the world!

I can tie my shoe laces!! *dribbles down chin*

It just sounds like a more expensive version of giving you stamps on your work or stickers when you are in primary school.

Youth support services director Barbara Lewis insisted: 'For some, it may be the only qualifications they get.'

Sure, let's give people worthless qualifications, just so they at least have some.

Stoopid.

Never mind the recession. This is retarded at the best of times. As I said, my 3 year old can do some of the things they're giving 15 year olds certificates for, and she'll not be long in doing the rest.

Lol you should ask them for a certificate!

Poor Joe .

LOL

Reminds me of the extremely patronising phase used in a nappies advert...

"Mummy, Wow! I'm a big boy now!"

Oh man, I'm taking my advanced certificate today, I've already managed to use a bus and the metro, all I have to do is get on a tram without forgetting to press the button to open the doors, falling up the steps or under the wheels and I'll be home dry. So much pressure

Where's his certificate for opening the letter containing the first one?

 

[shauncr91]

Wonder if it will end up on his CV

Why is everyone having problems with this?

It's just a piece of paper. Like a degree...

 

[Tefal]

I cant believe they spent £20,000 of coucil money on this scheme. It truly amazes me during a recession...

Oh FFS.

Think of what a school, hospital or hospice could have done with that money

Why is everyone having problems with this?

Cause it cost 20 grand of taxpayers money. :/

The real question is how many UCAS points will you get for it?

That is a state secret.

 

[Sash]

That is a state secret.

Stupid state.

Its funny though, my professional qualifications in financial planning are only the equivalent to an A Level C or something even though they are a lot harder

 

[dave2kdh]

bah?? not sure what to say on this, but seriously i just heard this and went what the hell :-/

undressing and dressing

Seriously? So who examines that?

"Hmm, yes, good technique, but you could have been much more efficient by removing the pants, trousers and socks at the same time. However, the presentation of your folded clothing is fantastic. B."

Seriously? So who examines that?

Haha, that didn't even occur to me. Good point!

 

[Amnesia]

did the kid not feel like they were taking the **** when they gave it to him....seriously why would he even accept it unless he was a bit special.

 

[uber soldat]

I want a certificate for driving to work and a certificate in forum posting.

Probably came through the post? I doubt they held a ceremony for every single one of the 900 kids that got one.

Some of the people would be on their Doctorate of Forum Posting.
