Another benefit is that it's one of the pathways to full membership of the IRSE (along with appropriate experience, etc). The IRSE website has the latest info on the various pathways. It's debatable as to how valuable full membership is as opposed to associate membership for eg, but it may command some respect from future employers. For me, the exams also show that I'm undertaking "continuing professional development" - useful in my annual performance review at work.
