Lionel,
you may want to checkout PMO specific certifications and courses, like from PMOGA, PMOGI or AIPMO.

Lionel, if you are specifically looking for PMO certificates, then I recommend PMO-CP offered by PMO Global Alliance which is now part of PMI.
However, if you are looking for certificates in Project Management in general, then you need to chose a credential that will complement your career path and goals. In general, and in order, my recommendations would be: 1) PMP - Globally Recognized. 2) PRINCE 2 Practitioner - Mostly recognized in the UK and Middle East 
Lionel -
A certification won't increase your skills - it will be only demonstrate that you possess certain knowledge and not that you are able to apply it effectively. As such, you should always be able to objectively answer WHY you are seeking another certification. If it is to secure a higher role, then investigate what credentials are normally held by the folks currently in those roles and what hiring managers are requesting in their job posts. If increasing capability is the primary motive, then invest the bare minimum in a non-certification learning exercise (self-study or formally taught) and put the majority of your effort into practicing what you have learned in the field - that will pay the highest returns in the long run!

My recommendation is forget about PMO (Project Management Office) certifications and put focus on agile based certifications. Mainly in the UK Goverment.
I agree with Sergio, I am currently working on gaining knowledge and understanding of Agile practices, life cycles and principles.
