I suspect it could be any of those. A link to 
http://pending.schema.org/Occupation would be a way of providing quite 
detailed, semantically rich information; however the reality of much 
schema.org data provision is that plain text values are more readily 
available. Here's an example 
<https://www.cityandguilds.com/qualifications-and-apprenticeships/children/children-and-young-people/4174-svqs-in-social-services-children-and-young-people-levels-2-and-3#tab=information> 
"[this qualification] is for learners who work or want to work in the 
social services sector specialising in children and young people, for 
example as a child minder, in day care, crèches, preschools and schools, 
hospitals, primary care and community based services"

I have added "renewal / maintenance requirements" and "cost" under 
Refinements to Searches.

hmm, yes, that does seem rather vague. I could only imagine answering it 
in terms of other use case headings (e.g. people who want to be X, or 
people who have the following competencies..., etc.)   If no one objects 
I shall remove this.

I think most of these were covered, but I added "Find a service to 
verify a credential"

Good point. Time required could mean the typical time required to 
acquire the requisite competences etc, e.g. the duration of an 
appropriate course,--but this would depend on the individual's current 
standing, and can be adequately covered in the description of the 
course; or it could mean any 'experience' requirement--for example, in 
Scotland, lawyers must work as 'trainees' for two years after their 
acquiring their academic diploma before they are fully qualified to 
practise independently. I think we could add this type of requirement 
under the existing "eligibility requirements".

Does that cover everything?
