My first Open University certificate came through today. I’m now entitled to use the letters Cert French (Open) after my name.
I won’t be doing this, I don’t even use my degree letters as a rule (BSc. Hons, I believe, though there may be some detail difference).
To start using Cert French (Open) would be equivalent to writing my GCSE/O Level/A Level qualifications!
Still, it’s nice to have the bit of paper. The next one, assuming that I finish the course, will be Cert Hum (Open).
No, I won’t be using it, it may get silly.

Heh.
My haul so far with the OU entitles me to:
Cert Nat Sci (open)
Cert APS (open)
Cert Cont Sci (open)
Dip GeoSci (open)
Dip Phys Sci (open)
(all in addition to the BTEC ONC in Computer Studies that was my highest educational achievement up until I started OU *G*)
…. and I’ll bet you don’t write ‘em after your name!
