What I've read is that you can just go through the <a href="http://www.adobe.com/support/illustrator/" rel="nofollow">Adobe help online</a> and the things you want to pay most attention to are the lightbulb tips (you'll see the lightbulb icon and then some italicized text). You could also work through online video tutorials like on Lynda.com (here's <a href="http://www.lynda.com/promo/freepass/Default.aspx?lpk35=930&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=ldc_affiliate&utm_content=655&utm_campaign=CD228&bid=655&aid=CD228&opt=" rel="nofollow">a free 24 hour pass</a> to check out Lynda.com tuts).As for holding a certification, for freelancers I think it can inspire confidence in prospective clients (even though, really, what can answering multiple choice questions on a test show about your ability to understand the client's needs and create something fantastic for them?) and for instructors, it definitely looks good on a resume.

First I would ask myself if the certificate in any way is worth the money spent on it. Does it progress your career or not? Remember that Illustrator is just a tool and the certificate just verify that you can use and operate the tool and says nothing about your skills in design or ability to communicate.I think that Lauren have been around the subject, unless I am mistaken. I seem to remember a website that made cheap test you could download for a couple of bucks. hmm that is a difficult question!
