Any certification from Adobe would be a big big asset.
Especially Illustrator and Photoshop.
Many great training tools exist for these programs.
Many technical schools offer courses in these programs.
Adobe also has the Classroom in a Book series, you might find them at the library
or a used book store. It might not be real world production stuff but you will know the program. Many companies also test people before hiring.

Good Luck.

Masters on IT education online can give you advance learning aside from graphic designing..an opportunity for higher income.
