Matthew, Penn State offers a free online course through Coursera: https://www.coursera.org/#course/maps To earn a certificate there is a fee of $49. The University of Arizona offers an online GIS Master's degree and a professional certificate: http://geography.arizona.edu/gis-masters These are two of the top geography departments in the nation - good luck!

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.
