Dear Matthew and Ted, The Faculty of Geo-Information and Earth Observation (ITC) at the University of Twente, Enschede from the Netherlands offers a variety of GIS distance education courses, that finish in a certificate. I followed a course, receiving a Certificate in Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation. The prices vary, I believe they are around 1000 EUR (and more) if you are from a industrialized country. The courses are listed at http://www.itc.nl/CourseFinder
Otherwise, coursera offers some geospatial related course (free), where you can receive a certificate. https://www.coursera.org/ Hope this helps.
