I've just found this thread. Maybe you have the answers already, but just in case:
ITIL is actually the emerging standard for IT Service Management. Yes, it's quite new, but certainly has critical mass already.
Although it is intended for corporate application, part and parcel is a set of examinations for individual certification. These are set at three levels: Foundation, Practioner and Management.
That's the background - now to answer your questions:
1) The exams can be taking in many many places.
Prometric (specialists in exam processes) have 30,000 such locations. For your nearest, search their site . The exam costs something in the region of $125
2) Training? Most people seem to go for online training. The most populer seems to
ITIL Training World at $199
For more information, there are plenty of commercial sites, such as
ITIL World, but maybe the best place to dig around is the
ITIL User Group
I hope this helps
