@PhilipDAthabout letting your personal certificates expire: Personally I wouldn't do it, even If I wouldn't need it currently. You don't know what will happen in a few years. I currently hold a CCIE Collaboration, CCDevP (got it beginning of March 2020), CCNP Collab, ... I completely understand that you don't want to go the "traditional" recertification path with studying for one or more exams. In 2017 or 2018 cisco hast started the continued education path for CCIEs and in the meantime it got also available for the lower tiers. Which means you can recertify just with attending (online) courses. I was the first person in my company which has went this way for the CCIE recertification and all I did was attending 2 online self study courses: Developing with Cisco Network Programmability (NPDEV) 4.0 which had not much to do with my daily business, but it was still interesting to learn. In the end it has also helped me to pass the DevCore exam as some topics got covered here. Troubleshooting Cisco IP Telephony and Video (CTCOLLAB) 1.0 There wasn't much new here for me, but I still have learned something. There isn't any requirement for you to do anything similiar to your current certificates. You just have to attend courses which are part of the program. Just login into ce.cisco.com and look for any courses for your recertification. For professional level you would need 80 credits/points. You can do 4 courses which are worth 20 or just do 2 with 50 and 30 credits or any other combination.
