Stay certified without learning hub

[nicknf]

Hello,

I received an e-mail that my certification is about to expire and that I can stay certified by subscribing to SAP learning hub. Is there another way of staying certified? E.g. is it possible to pay just for a delta/"stay certified" exam? In my case the certification is C_DBADM.

Kind regard

Support confirmed that a learning hub subscription is necessary in order to stay certified. This seems very odd since a subscription is far more expensive than a single certification exam.

If I remeber correctly SAP said by than that a certification will not lose it's validity. This does not seem the case anymore...
