    Did'nt know there were exams. More and more developers are following Agile Development methodologues such as Test Driven Development wherein Testing becomes an inherent part of writing code. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test-driven_development.

    There are more and better tools for managing testing, maybe it would be more worthwhile to look at Software Project management like SCRUM of which testing and quality management forms a substantial part.

    I can't see there being qualifications in testing software.

    There is certification available, but it doesn't seem too well recognised. There are some links here:

    I presume you can also get ISO certification for what that would be worth.

    Take a look at Internation Institute for Software Testing. They have a vendor cert for Software testing (Here)..

    Dont know how well this is recognised on the irish market or any others for that matter.

    I did my final year project on testing and I have to say that James Bach articles are worth a read. Snake Oil test automation worth a read for everyone.

    ISEB foundation level is usually asked for on most job specs. seems to be the most popular testing qualification in that a person knows the basics of testing.
