Yep I've been through the qualification process, Div. It was fairly comprehensive but I qualified based on experience (the number of people I have managed, the level of management required etc and for how long) and some of my prior learning.

I actually am leaning against it now, and I have you ladies to thank. I think you have put into words my own doubts about it. It really is a lot of money and I also worry about my ability to commit to it right now. I think I will continue to get accredited and see how I go for the next 12 - 18 months.
