I am not sure how feasible it would be.

IN my opinion:

1) It would have to be sponsored by a large well known name for it to have any affect. For example, there are several places out there that offer you a college degree at home! While these are actual degrees as defined by law and scholastic standards, how many of them would you reust and be willing to rely on for your future? I would choose a Community Colege first...

2) It would take massive advertising. I have to admit, i do not want to advertise anybody else. I saw a thread about an idea for "franchising" out hosting companies. Where smaller hosts can join a consortium of sorts that does all the advertising and you, as a franchisee, get clients which are divided equally among the franchisees. All you do is pay a 10%-20% fee fom your earnings to the Mega-Franchise for advertising purposes. While god in concept, it seems like I am spending money to give away clients.

3) The "seal of approval" would have to have a well regulated set of standards. With so many hosts out there, how could they all be regulated? Again, this would be a massive undertaking.

4) It would have to go beyond just a test that measures knowledge. Most of the "kids" KNOW what they are doing, they just have bad business saavy, or don't care, or are just plain crooked.


I am sure there are other things...

It is an EXCELLENT concept though!
