I've always been more than willing to share knowledge and skill training with those who show interest and talent; the more qualified and interested people involved, the better, in my opinion. Making the club "exclusive" by requiring thousands of dollars of training and testing is just another method of control and elitism.
Is it elitism that professional engineers (structural, mechanical, civil, etc.) be educated with required experience as a junior engineer before they can take the PE exam?
What professional engineers you mentioned do can kill people. I have yet to hear of anyone dying from a sysadmin or netadmin screwing up. (Other than dropping something heavy onto someone, using a fork lift incompetently, or building an unsafe raised floor.).
