Here in the UK we have a number of Beekeeping qualifications that
anyone can attempt ie the Preliminary, the Intermediate and the
Senior plus the National Diploma in Beekeeping.
 
The holder of a Senior  beekeeping certificate is stated as being a
Master Beekeeper.  To get this level of qualification you have to
pass both theory and practical examinations.
 
The British Beekeepers Association administers these and publishes a
syllabus etc.   The National Diploma in Beekeeping is administered by
a separate NDB board.
 
Does this help?  If a syllabus is in existence I suggest that you
give it a long hard look.
