Under your belt
To achieve or do something successfully.
“Now that you have got the tests under your belt, you can apply for the position.”
ORIGIN
This phrase originated in Scotland in the late 18th century. It was literally meant to describe food and drink in one’s stomach as being under one’s belt. Later it came to apply, similarly like food and drinks already consumed, to any experience or achievements once accomplished and that cannot be taken from you.
