Hopefully it won't follow the race-to-the-bottom 'level playing field' (/dumbing down) mentality that seems to be infecting most areas of archaeology/life these days - you can tell a shovel from a spade in the tool-shed (and I've worked with 'experienced' diggers who didn't know there was a difference and had to have it explained...) so you're a competent digger...yer basic CSCS card test is a good example, a slug could pass that, hardly proof you're safe to get out of bed let alone be on site...
