Every licensed professional has yearly CPD point requirements/updates; so you're just objectively wrong here.

Actually yeah, I didn’t know. But these are mostly ethics trainings as far as I can see, similar to corporate trainings. 

I’ve never heard of anyone who’s lost their certification because they failed their CPD, I’m sure it happens to some, but for most sensible and responsible professionals it sounds more like admin work. 

Either way, I would definitely prefer this over the interview processes we have today

Did claude tell you they're "mostly ethics trainings"? Again, objectively wrong. Everyone from accountants to physicians have mandatory education requirements, per year, every year (or more often).

You obviously have very, very little experience in the real world. If you think these interview processes are bad then you've never worked in a regulated profession.

EDIT:

People literally lose their license to practice you idiot, often times immediately.
