One I know is that, a schoolboy gained an official AQA certificate for using a bus. I wonder there are another weird qualifications like this, could you please share it on this thread?

The AQA Unit Award Schemes are the best.

My favourites are the ones involving counting.
http://web.aqa.org.uk/qual/uas/uas_u...c=unit_titl e

UNIT TITLE: COUNTING ONE DOMESTIC ITEM
In successfully completing this unit the student will have
demonstrated the ability to
1. point, touch or give one domestic item when presented with a choice of up to five domestic items;
2. repeat this for at least six different sets of domestic items.

I personally think this is better than 'Counting from Zero to Five'.

EDIT: I think these ones are better
93722 COUNTING ONE DOMESTIC ITEM WITH VERBAL PROMPTS
93723 COUNTING ONE DOMESTIC ITEM WITH GESTURAL PROMPTS
93724 COUNTING ONE DOMESTIC ITEM WITH PHYSICAL PROMPTS

I once read an article about Internet becoming a living system we have to teach when it reaches about the same amount of brain cells as there are computers connected to the Internet... load of ******** if you ask me, anyway, that article went on about some professor 'evolution of the Internet'.

For some people, that would be a big achievement. These courses are meant for people with learning difficulties and stuff, not for people at Warwick doing maths...

Well compared to some others that's pretty reasonable though calling it a degree is unreasonable!

It's more of a trade skill.

I absoloutely agree, i think people mocking them should look at themselves, these qualifications can show basic life skills many learn in their schools, why can't they have certificates to show they can do them?

Viking studies at the University of Nottingham, BA or Ma now while it may be interetsing I can't imagine there are that many job openings apart from Jorvik viking centre or uphellya (sp?) festival organiser in Shetland Isles every year where they burn a long boat and get drunk
