    The market does a good way of setting quality/price hierarchy, there are tons of portfolios out there and many people with design diplomas and degrees.

    This is as good an idea as certifying musicians. You would have to pass an exam before a well-paid old prick commission for your band to be able to be played on any BBC station, tv or radio. What would be the result?

    As I wrote, it that passes, all government and majority of high-profile corporate jobs will have this as a requirement. Not because it offers quality, but because it offers to cover the ass of the person who takes the decision who to hire.
    People who organize this are trying to close that market to people they don't let into the club.

    Also, when you have people and companies from outside of UK competing for a contract, who obviously are not going to be certified, this will put a lot of uncertified locals in worse position than those uncertified foreign competitors.
