Exams for positions whose work can apply to the entire organization can be more difficult without significant negative effects. Positions that interface with people (don't scale) suffer more when testing and licensing is too onerous. For example, physical therapy services would suffer if testing were too onerous for patient-interfacing therapists, but the physicians and researchers who set the direction of the PT program can be examined more thoroughly and this is essentially how medical practice is structured. Similarly, actuaries, whose modeling and underwriting work applies across the entire financial org, can be tested more rigorously than the financial advisors and customer service reps who are busy with customers, custodians, etc.
