"portfolios don't do the job"

LOL. You are very right.
Unfortunately, there's a time that I've encountered a lot of employees looking for competency training because they need more certificates for their job. It doesn't matter if they learn or not as long as they have a certificate to present to their boss. 😁

Also, there was this time when I was looking for a training to be competent in automotive servicing. I visited one school and asked their front desk officer if finishing their two month automotive servicing course would make me competent in the field. I was surprised to get the answer that I will be getting a national certificate which would certify that I can do the job. I almost answer back that I don't need the certificate, all I need is to be able to be competent in automotive servicing. It's not the certificate that will do the servicing right? LOL.

I think people are almost obsessed with portfolios and degrees, I thought it only happens in Nigeria, imagine having to present a certificate for a job you already know how to do. I know that documentation and excessive red tapism is one of the reasons why we have unqualified people doing some job all because a report or certificate proves they can do it. I guess it's the world we live in. It's absolutely crazy the requirements we have to present to prove our capacity.

It happens in my country too. That's why I don't believe much on people flaunting their certificates and or degrees. I have been a trainer/teacher for around 3 or 4 years and most of our clients are just after the certificates.
