There's this thing some group of project managers decided to put up, the PMP certification, which is supposed to train PMs for the "best practices" in project management, be it IT, construction, or whatever project. I can send you the PMBOK (the Project Management Book of Knowledge) once I get home and find the CD which has it. It's in PDF.
I personally am not a fan of certification. Nothing beats experience and the ability to learn new things.
