IKBA Certificates

Every so often, I'm asked if I still do IKBA Certificates. Since GeofS died, I haven't done.
I still have the the structure, which was my p-take on the official system, after 10 years working in a up-start university. As an ex-Copper, GeofS was amused by the implied challenge to authority.
I'll see about republishing it.
With the price of postage, it might be better to send them out as downloadable PDF or JPG files for you to print at home.
Is anyone interested?

Does one need a certificate for IKBA.

Not at all.
The certificates were a self-acknowledgement that with old bikes RTFM isn't enough - there are so many things to combine and no computers to solve problems.
Add to that that initial internet diagnosis is usually miles off the mark.
IKBA comes from when I was challenged at work to explain my unusual solutions to problems, or my even more bizarre approach to opportunities - my regular answer was I Know Bugger All, which one manager shortened to IKBA.
There are no exams and no tests. It's just a bit of fun - and boy do we need a good supply of that.

I'm sure I had one years ago when I was young(er) and using the name of 5TA Den and would welcome another to prove how little I have learnt over all these many years.

Certainly do, Bill. Far too much grim news these days.
Great idea, I've a couple of clueless bodger pals to whom I would present one at our annual award giving dinner.

It's not just news that's grim.

There are actual happenings in our lives that we need to pay attention to and fix, or it's all going down the spout. And touches almost everything we do.

Not the same world we came up in. Can't just pretend it's not happening?

Hi Bill, Trust you are well, I did apply for an IKBA many years ago, but for whatever reason it never arrived, so yes, I would love one for the workshop / man-cave.

I would be most grateful to receive one, after all not only have I excelled at Masters level in Bodgery, but I managed it in a certain Mad way.

Other opinions may be available but this one is always correct.

Re: IKBA Certificates

Totally agreed!
It will certainly validate your claim to be qualified.

Re: IKBA Certificates

Certifiably so...

I think that I am overqualified as my wife regularly refers to some act of technical wizardry that I have achieved maintaining our estate as "yet another bodge".

Think I know even less than before. Gone from IKBA to IKSRFA. I Know Square Root of FA.

Re: IKBA Certificates

Here's a sample. You provide any photo you want as the background (if legal etc) the name you want, what academic level you have achieved*, any colour preferences.
*Certificate/Diploma/Degree/PGC(Post Grad Certificate)/PGD(Post Grad Diploma)/Masters Degree

I will advise the letters you can use after your name.
