Create Memory
A certification document for "Foundation Certificate in Software Testing" from "ISEB" (Information Systems Examinations Board), awarded to "Mr Simon J Tomes" on "22/04/2004." The certificate is signed by the "Chief Executive" of "BCS" and also lists "Aqua Computing" as the "Course Provider." The certification number is "15173" and the document is dated "11/05/2004."
In this memory: Simon Tomes

Searching for "BCS" in my photo app, I stumbled across this.

What a blast from the past. I got ISEB certified (now ISTQB) in 2004.

How times have changed!

STEC, the Software Testing Essentials Certificate, is now where it's at, of course.
