That's what initiation is for; basically the school says "okay, your paperwork says you have the skills to attend Beacon. Now prove it." If they fail initiation then they're obviously not cut out to be Huntsmen. If they pass then they obviously have the necessary skills.

Jaune managed to pass because he fell in with 7 other people who do have the skill, and the 3 he teamed up with were happy to follow his suggestion when he gestured at the Deathstalkers stinger.
