otherwise, one could "hire" a smart poor guy in a crappy country to take all the courses instead of himself and get the certificate I think that is true of any course. My university spotted that my name varies according to which official document you read, and wondered out loud who I really was I told them a version of the truth, and they were happy enough.You could pay someone to do the CQF for you, and it would be a most generous gfit since you'd also be paying for a course that will help their career.I'm not so sure what is in it for you ?The CQF is a practical course, Paul, Riaz, Mike various other experts (plus me) show you how to do stuff. So if you faked your way though it, there would be some other guy who would find his skills upgraded.You on the other hand will have a bit of paper, and since I assume that you cheated because you are not good enough to take the course, it is hard to see how you could prosper for very long in this line of work.Turn up at interview, and it will quickly become apparent that you don't know this stuff.Of course, you could get this poor person to sit on the end of the phone, and you could explain the funny thing in your ear as a "new type of hearing aid". Banks are usually very understanding of handicaps.I think there is a plot for a movie in all this. Presumably you could also hire someone who was good at thinking up lines to picking up women, another who knows lots of good jokes, yet another who speaks Russian and Greek.You could acquire a vast host of skills for a few K per year. The movie plot would of course include various hilarious moments when you are asked about the Greeks in finance and you start speaking in Greek. One of the "helpers" would of course fall in love with you, and the guy with the pick up lines will fall in love with her. But naturally you are in love with Charlize Theron, who also has one of these "hearing aids".There are for some reason a lot of dog movies around at present, so I'd exploit that demographic by one "helper" being an expert dog trainer.Then the wires get crossed, and you get him instead of the expert in picking up women "rub her tummy and tell her she's a good dog" I assert my intellectual property rights over this film project which I shall call "Outsourcing"
