If we have licencing and professional training courses with examinations, a 'Skills Passport' is an irrelevance. What instead you have is basically the IfA proposal on Chartered Membership with the Skills Passport effectively becoming your CPD log. My previous point stands that neither scheme can be enforced on the current generation(s) of archaeologists, without some kind of dispensation (probably self-certified).
