I wish there was a certification process that was worth pursuing; not accepting every applicant because they've paid the fee, but actually proving their skills and knowledge through their application.

A body of past work should suffice, academic credentials may also be misleading as the range of cultural objects is so vast that no education program could cover all of the real life possibilities. The result could be a lack of qualified talent to care for specialized objects, primarily because the certification itself will present a barrier to some individuals despite having the requisite knowledge to perform the work.
