This proposal would be complete nonsense irrespective of its origins. You can't regulate by job title (people would pop on and off the register as their jobs changed?) and the skills of managers vary so widely, you'd have to pick a tiny core set, which would be practically meaningless.

Management isn't a profession with it's own defined set of knowledge and techniques, but a set of practical and personal skills which can be used to motivate teams and coordinate processes & resources. Many people can use such skills and do. They aren't always in management jobs. You don't need to exclude the incompetent from an area of practice - if they don't improve in response to feedback, just sack them and ensure their references are truthful.

Much better to have decent evidence based standards for service outcomes and really monitor performance against these standards. In addition to this direct & meaningful approach, monitor staffing levels, sickness rates and morale surveys to help to drive out the mindlessly obedient and the downright psychopathic. Job done.
