How about LPI, Linux Professional Institute Certification?  I have some 
materials
from IBM for an LPI certification on my web.site at 
http://www.robinson-west.com
under Michael.

I have a book my brother got me a couple of years ago, but it is too old 
and 2000
didn't seem to be the greatest time to certify.  I would imagine that 
things have
gotten better lately.  It's not an end all solution, I'd want to be able 
to build my
own Linux system from scratch and research organization methods for library
upgrades and such.  That requires a bit of programming skill.
