Now and again there are natural born teachers but for the rest of us the structure of the
certificated courses help us form the framework for our own teaching...
As to the reasoning behind certificates
We're trained from an early age to like stars on our work. O-levels, A-levels, Degrees
they're all just "counters" for the actions taken & knowledge gained.
Do we really need them? Nope, but they sure look pretty on the wall....
(Did I mention that some suppliers give certification discounts too, including USA ones)
