Hi Alexandru, About re-certification, important thing is promotion of one level higher exams to "to be re-certified" professionals. For Level 1 certified professionals, promote Level 2 exam rather than Level 1 exams. For those who have Level 2 certification, we should promote Level 3XXX. The following site shows series of posters which LPI-Japan developed. If you click the extreme right poster of the first row, you will see our Level 3 poster. https://www.lpi.or.jp/poster/index.php As you can see, we positioned Level 3 as a VIP certification to drive all exam takers to take Level 3. We promote Level 304 as a certification for cloud professionals. Again, if you click the extreme left poster of the second row, you will see how we promoted Level 304. I feel that this kind of promotion is quite important to move our exam takers up to 304.
