Andy, I was thinking not so much of an 'audit of -standards-', as much as an audit of the teacher's _methods_ by other teachers. a "how well does he help others learn how to repeatedly get the lid off the jelly jar" (so to speak), and how can -we- help to achieve continual improvement.
Teaching being the art, and required paperwork and classwork being the structure [canvas and paints] upon which the art of logistics/warehousing is painted.
John_J, your comment above shows to me that the idea is not as dumb as most of my ideas (?great minds think alike?) and has [at least some] merit, maybe it was 'ego and execution' that caused a failed effort in the 90s, and it may be worth re-thinking - reworking.
Every 20 years or so it might not be a bad thing to take a look at how things are done from the bottom up?
As I see it, this would more be a problem of "where and how much is the profit?"
Perhaps forklift operator trainers need a standards body along the lines of ASE for auto mechanics (and I am NOT endorsing the ASE) or PADI has done for scuba divers (and I think PADI is a far better managed model, that keeps "profit" and "results" in the correct proportions).
