Niggling can be fun. I've occasionally been unbiddable or unusable on
government contracts for training or CBT development because I don't have a
degree in instructional design (I started in the field almost before you
could get such a thing). There's a list of courses you're supposed to have
taken. I have TAUGHT some of them, but that wasn't deemed equivalent to
having taken them.
At least it saved me from some horrendously boring work. Not to mention
from having to participate in the proposal development.
