Here is the North American Benthological Society's (NABS) website for taxonomic certification. Membership dues are $70 annually, running December to December and this certification covers more than the usual macroinvertebrates we encounter here in Missouri. It seems, the closest site for regular testing and training workshops is at the University of Illinois, Champaign; but their are some pretty cool photo and resource link pages here that can help you learn more than you need to know about macroinvertebrate systematics.
Workshops and tests cover:
Group 1 - Crustacea, Coleoptera, Diptera, Hemiptera, Lepidoptera, Megaloptera, Odonata, Trombidiformes
Group 2 - Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, Trichoptera
Group 3 - Chironomidae
Group 4 - Oligochaeta, Hirudinea
Group 5 - Mollusca
