You would need to show substantial harm almost resulting directly from this rule. Not being promoted does not deprive you of life, liberty or property. Sounds like you are assigning an entitlement to promotion. They can give future perks only to "directors" who have the certs., which could possibly be construed as a demotion. But do you want to get in a fight w/ your boss at age 58? When you are convinced they are forcing you out, begin planning your own exit.
