I always took it that if you had been chief engineer on some merchant ship, you'd have papers as such. And while they could be forged, so could any certification.
This kind of flies in the face of chargen. I can attain a high rank or position during chargen without having to obtain more than minimal skills in that area. Which is also how things work in the real world. Being chief engineer is as much about supervision and administration as it is about drive maintenance.
