professionalises

Elevates to standard

Professionalises is the British spelling of the verb that means to give something the character, standards, or status of a profession.

When an activity or field professionalises, it develops formal training requirements, credentials, ethical codes, and other trappings that distinguish professions from casual pursuits.

The sport has professionalised rapidly over the past decade.

The process often involves both raising standards and restricting entry to those who meet them.
