The first place to start is the MCTS: SQL 2008, Business Intelligence
Development and Maintenance (70-44
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en...8&locale=en-us

There is an MSPress Training Kit for this exam, as well as several other
books on SSAS and SSRS

After that is the MCITP: BI Developer, which requires exam
70-452 Designing a Business Intelligence Infrastructure using Microsoft SQL
Server 2008
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en...2&locale=en-us

There aren't any certification study guides, but MSLearning recommends the
same "other" materials you used to prepare for the MCTS.

In addition, you should rely heavily on the SQL Server Books Online for any
SQL Server certifications.
