I would ditch the courses and grades. For it qualifications change it to Certifications and ditch the "pass" and the "date" you passed them. You need to expand on your experiance in your positions you worked. I would remove operating systems and show under your work experiance what OS's you worked with.

I agree with one nuance--noting that your certifications are valid or current might help. One of my friends who had an expired certification was annoyed how often that was one of the first questions that recruiters and employers would ask them during a telephone interview.

This only applies to the class of certifications that expire, and especially those certifications that changed significantly before/after a certain date like many networking ones.
