[Scottish] wat courses should i take? {Scanned}

[Andrew Calverley]

Gary, 

If you need it grab the cert. If not, don't worry about it. 

Certs are only necessary when job-hunting. They are a ticket, a key
and nothing more.

But you only know if that the door is locked when you do not have the key.
