Oh my lord. Don’t take this to actual job interviews otherwise they will think you’ve brought the drinks menu.
“Do you, Bronze Lifesaving Award, take this man, Cycling Proficiency Certificate …”
And you’re still living it up 18 years later?
Ahhh, that’s what I was meant to use that for!
I had one of those. Put my GCSE certificate in it. All the ink transferred off the certificate on onto the inside of the plastic folder bit! I was NOT pleased!
Needn’t have been upset though – no one ever asked me for it, bar, I think, the A-Level enroller. Just once 😆
The best thing about it is that it actually doesn’t look out of place for the occasion. What would the documents you’ve got normally have been in?
You are the chosen one
I am a teacher, we all knew they were a bullshit idea back then, but it was decided above our paygrade.
Funnily enough I heard one mentioned by a former pupil the other day, he still has it with the certificates still in it.
My daughter was given a “Wider Achievement” book a few years ago, similar bullshit idea.
I don’t even know where mine is.
My grandma passed away last summer and I had a lot of stuff in my grandparent’s attic.
My NRA book was one thing. I read my scores, how I had high hopes for myself and how my teachers shared those hopes – then I binned the lot. Pure catharsis!
Never thought I’d see one of those wasteful things again!
I drew all over mine then lost it years ago. I’ve since gone on to get an engineering MSc so doubt it would of been any use lol
Well done mate.
This is going on your permanent record.
OP, I have a question. At what point during the wedding ceremony are the couple legally married?
The second most useless book.
I still have mine. Not that anyone has ever in my entire life asked for proof of a single qualification. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if most the UK workforce were lying about their actual qualifications.
I have no idea what this book is. I guess they phased them out some time in the last 18 years, because I’ve never had one or heard of them.
Question, what is that?
I still have mine from school think its in my laptop bag, no idea why.
Got mine 30 years ago. Still have it and it looks EXACTLY the same as this one.
I can still vividly remember the smell of these.
Haha I had one of those! I put my Duke of Edinburgh award certificate in it!

I found mine in the attic last year and had a flick through.
It opened with “I like to think I’m a trustworthy person”.
This is why I don’t let 16 year old me write my job applications.
I’ve been home in England for a week, bringing the grandson to stay with the olds and in the bedroom they made up for us my mum had left out my record of achievement.
Fun to look at, I had a good attendance record. At the back was my Ozzfest 2002 ticket and a Zoolander movie stub from my first date. Ah the memories.
Yes! Love it! I’ll be doing this when best man at a wedding.
