It is probably the most useful education you will get but i am not sure it would be accepted as an academic degree on a resume. It could of course depend on the position for which you are applying. Some companies prefer life experience.

No, no, no. Even if it's true. If I saw that on an applicant's resume I'd chuck it in the waste basket. Instead, emphasize what you've learned through other means than a formal education.

If you couple it with - Previous experience - Cutting corners, skiving off, taking 1.5 hour lunch breaks, using the photocopier in a humerous and non-produtive way, stealing pens, flirting, abusing the staff coffee machine etc etc etc Then apart from the name and address you have my old CV!

Probably depends on the employer, but I doubt most would take it well, they might see it as a little smug, even if that's not intended. Humour and resumes don't mix well, generally.

A resume is not a place to display your stunning wit. Classes you've taken, training you've had (whether formal or informal) are the ticket. I've had to hire people for various retail positions. I've got a STACK of resumes to go through. I'm not going to d*ck around with a joker.
