Hmm.. where is it?? Ah!
Found it. http://www.andreibilan.blogspot.com/
A guy was at the forums not so long ago, he said he was an Adobe certified Exspert. He don't have any contact info, but he left his own tutorial blog, maybe you can get some help from him there?.. Ask a few things and get a few answers.
I haven't heard of any, who is a certified exspert in this forum, at least I know nothing about it really ..

Just how much an ACE certification will help your career path depends largely on where you are in your career. ACE certs are great for landing that first job, or for edging out the competition for that promotion. That said, there is still no substitute for experience and outstanding performance.

As far as the road to certification goes, I'd start by visitin Adobe's website for reference on the subject. You can find it at: http://www.adobe.com/support/certification/ace.html.
I would reccomend finding the nearest Adobe authorized training center, and getting instruction from Adobe Certified Instructors (ACI's). These are people who've been where you're going and have tons of useful insight.

I was very lucky to have an authorized training center within a 15 minute drive of where I live. As such, I've never had to resort to web resources, and so have no particular advice in that area.
