That's where "acceptable partner certs" come in. Maybe something like the
CISSP.
As well, continuing education doesn't necessarily mean more certifications
(although, that would be proof of cont. ed.). It could just be gaining
knowledge in a related tech (for example, software development, cloud
stuff, build management, ...).
There's a wide range of what other accreditation bodies do for maintaining
credentials, too. For example, my professional engineer license only
requires a fee to be paid each year. It goes all the way up to fairly
rigorous compliance like the ISC2 (CISSP) and the PMI (PMP) require:
https://www.isc2.org/maintaining-your-credential.aspx
and:
http://www.pmi.org/certification/maintain.aspx
These two examples also include a code of ethics (at least the PMI
http://www.pmi.org/about-us/ethics/code-of-ethics.aspx) and work experience
requirements. The work experience is required prior to accreditation, I
believe.
