It's kinda like, if I wanted to weld I could just buy a welding rig, read some instructions, and have a go at it. But if I really wanted to be a welder, teach people the skill and maybe make some money doing it, I'd invest time, money and a good amount of dues-paying in order to gain that legitimate classification.

appropriate comparison Turner.
LCI - League of American Bicyclists Certified Instructor
Chicago's Mayor Daily's Bike Ambassadors are all LCIs for example.
