Ive been using photoshop/illustrator for over 8 years and have never
been asked about any 'formal' qualification in either. Invest your
money in books and use the manuals that come with each programs. You
can use adobes expert/studio website:

http://studio.adobe.com/tips/main.jsp

and their forums can be helpfull too. There are many other great
websites you can learn from, for example:

http://www.creativepro.com

although a book can be more usefull unless you have a few monitors as
its easier to have tutorials in front of you whilst working on screen.
