R sig jobs - Mar 2009 - Forgive if OT/FAQ, but seems best site to ask

I'm posting this trusting you'll give me a pass for naivete and for
clue deficiency.  The answer may be"none we know of" but this seems to
be the best place to ask since it relates to statistical jobs.

Do any professional certifications exist in statistics or
biostatistics?  That is, does statistics have any analogue to the 'A+'
or MSCE in computers?

Thanks in advance.
