Being authorised wouldn't enhance my business but I hoped might go some way to quenching my thirst!

I don't think that is is a stretch to say that all professional certifications, in the end, deal with the benefits of enhancing business (yours and the certifying body's), with the possible exception of businesses that deal with public safety.

And far as quenching thirst, the individual can find many ways to do that, some a lot better and a lot more cost effective than others.
