The Esri Technical Certification is beginning to really take off.  Several areas have finished development and are now available.  If you are not familiar with the certification, it is similar to the Microsoft Certifications.

If you are a bit leery about taking the exam, Esri provides a refresher course to prepare for the exam.  These courses do not teach specifically to the exam, but they cover keys areas.  The courses are instructor-led for in-person or on-line.
