CCNA - also expired
Both still on the CV though"Is someone you don't like allowed to say something you don't like? If that is the case then we have free speech."- Elon MuskComment

No O or A levels or whatever they are called now - Labour party withdrew funds from our grant maintained school in the seventies so could not afford them or go to uni.
However, since school:
City and Guilds Carpentry and Joinery - 3 years fulltime = 40 hours on site + 20 hours college per week
Advanced City and Guilds Carpentry and Joinery 1 year fulltime = 40 hours on site + 20 hours college per week
Challenge any modern day student to do the above courses. Had to work for any qualification then and this was when the working week was 48 hours, and since those:
City and Guilds IT Literacy
City and Guilds Applications Programming (apparently equals NVQ 3)Comment

Don't help me anymore but putting down that I've written IBM redbooks on my CV does...“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment
