He can't. Not based on degrees or academic backgrounds anyway.
Things are done in this way here: When you need some services, you ask your neighbors, friends, relatives or anybody you know has received this service recently if the craftsman they hired was good, if not, you ask someone else until somebody recommends a good/ skilled person to do the job for you. This is why these people are usually keen to please their customers because they know that if the work they did was not very good, they are most likely not to have any new cutomers and they will be out of business.

Sometimes it happens that the man you hired might not work up to standards and usually, it is u who have to deal with the consequences. It is very rare that these consequences are so grave as to cause somebody to get an electricity shock or a house to get burned because you won't trust someone to do such works in your house unless you know they have worked in several places where they had not messed up.. if the service you need is of this important nature, you have to do some search to guarantee results. And as I said, in most cases, if the electrician, carpenter, or whatever is not sure he could do the job well, he usually wouldn't take it (in most, not in all cases) because if they didn't do a good job, soon the word will spread and they won't have any customers.
