I did a "drysuit orientation" the other week.  Got a school stamp and instructor number in my logbook, but no qualification.  Would it count?  Who knows? Maybe with one but not with another...

I can see the point of checking before hiring - just like car hire, but what skipper checks quals beyond the basic?  After all, they'll let you jump in to 40m to the bottom on a 30m ticket, or have nitrox in your tank without checking, so why bother with a drysuit?

Besides all that the main part of learning to use a drysuit is practise, practise, practise - as I am learning!
