If you change only code, but not interaction model, then you don't need to recertify. But if you, let's say add a new intent or additional slot values, or decide to change skill description, well basically if you change anything in the dev portal, then yes - you need to submit your skill for certification in order for changes to take effect.

Talking about, how to not fail the certification. It is quite hard to do that the first time. The best pointers would be to follow alexa certification requirements posted here rigorously. Even though I wouldn't be too worried if you won't pass cert the first time. You'll get the feedback about what was wrong, so you could fix that and recertify.
