Photography certifications?

Do they make any certifications like they do for the computer field? I'm thinking it may be time for a change, but majored in computers. So if I could get some certs in another area that would help in applying for a new job as I don't think I really want to go back into computers after this.

This used to be associated with Professional Photographers of America, and there is still an affinity between them, but the Certification Commission is an independent entity--PPA membership is not necessary to be certified.
