LFCS / LFCE recertification?

Has anyone recertified their LFCS or (especially) LFCE? I was wondering if anyone could share specific examples of what they used as continuing education.

I hadn't considered their CE requirements until now. They do seem a little vague on the details:

Approved Continuing Education activities include:

Non-entry level training courses from The Linux Foundation’s Developer and/or Enterprise curriculum.
Non-entry training from a Linux Foundation Authorized Training Partner or from an established Linux training provider such as SUSE, Red Hat, Oracle, Linux Academy, IBM, HP, Guru Labs and other similar programs.

I get the feeling that they haven't finalised the details yet (include, other similar programs). I guess that the easiest path is to do courses on Linux Foundation website, for example the OpenStack or DevOps training, but then I have no idea how a self paced course would be measured in terms of CE hours.

Thanks for the response. I will see if I can get in touch with someone at Linux Foundation. I have a few months before it expires so it is not urgent yet.

Did you ever get an answer about this?

Wondering about this too. Seems to me like doing the LFS 211 Linux Networking and Administration/LFS 216 Linux Security Fundamentals online self-paced course one then the other spaced 2 years apart sounds like a relatively low-stress way to keep it current for 6 years, while keeping the skillset sharpened. Not sure if it works the way I envision it though.
