You can conveniently take the Ubuntu Certified Professional (UCP) exams
at Silvan Prometrics or Pearson Vue certification sites. Take a look at
http://www.lpi.org/en/lpi/english/certification for more details.
Information specific to the UCP is available here:

I found that the LPI-101 and LPI-102 exams are not very hard, while the
LPI-199 (Ubuntu Exam) does deliver more punch (very strong IMO).

On the acceptance of the certification, I believe it is on par with the
other LPI certifications in general.
