Arch, good luck to you in the future
.
I am currently taking a prep course to allow me to take the PMP exam and get certified through PMI (
http://www.pmi.org/Pages/default.aspx). Is that something you speaking of and interested in? There are minimum requirements that you have to meet to take the exam (degree, experience, contact hours) which you need to have prior to filling out the application. From what I have seen and learned that is a good certification to have, it looks really good. Let me know and maybe I can give you more info.
