Passes the requirements for BAJR... and yes they have a structure in place, so its not a case of the person turning up at a train station in France, with a suitcase and being asked to start it all from scratch. actually, it takes less time to get to oxford from Caen that it does to get from Oxford to Edinburgh 
BAJR has over the years set a minimum bar... , now accepted as a minimum standard. What happens next is a raising of that standard... however, BAJR (being one person) can't bully people... or companies - BUT... with FAME, the IfA and BAJR then it can work... time for the BEnchmarking to move forward. I agree about devalued skills, but welcome to the wacky world, where a hundred pounds can mean the difference between getting a job and jot... a company must cut to the bone... and in archaeology, thats often an unkind cut. however we can move forward, and in ten years we have.... with general support, we can move on!
