Part of the problem with trying to "professionalize" this type of course is that the people generally taking these courses are not interested in a professional level of knowledge about this, and in fairness, cannot possibly hope to be even reasonably conversant in the usually 1 day, rarely 2 day-long sessions these companies offer. This would be comparing apples to oranges. It is the purpose behind the seminars that is the stumbling block here. Now, if you got base-line measures for the courses so that you could parse beginners, intermediate and advanced learners, you might have something.
