So, does anyone on here have any fake qualifications that mean they can put letters after their name, or qualifications they have bought?
I myself am able to put letters after my name.... Sarah ?????? Hkt.B (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Edit/ Also does anyone know of qualifications than one can simply buy? |

QUOTE(cellocase @ Jun 2 2007, 08:46 PM)  QUOTE(YetAnotherPianist @ Jun 2 2007, 08:43 PM) There is that. I also wonder if there are rules about not giving out another organisation's postnominals - for instance, could I write a constitution for the recordings site and award 'Forum Recordings Site Member'?

I can't go into details, but when I started my present job, I had a terrible time having to prove all my qualifications and they even wanted proof of where I was working 20 years ago. I had to explain that the place in question was now a housing estate and it might be tricky. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
A few years later, our Director left for a new job as a government advisor (not the UK). Then a newspaper revealed that his PhD had been bought from the USA. He didn't lose his job! One law for them.... another for us? Steve |
