Hi there!

I am currently unemployed as I am making progress towards a career change. During this time, I would like to complete several of the certications that are available.

Being unemployed, I do not have a company website or current position to enter when registering. Can I still take the certifications and successfully register if I am unemployed?

Thank you!

Hi @CPM1990,

You can sign-up with your personal email address for a free account: [https://app.hubspot.com/signup-hubspot/crm](https://app.hubspot.com/signup-hubspot/crm)

When you’re required to enter a company domain, this domain does not have to exist. (This could however also be a good opportunity for you to buy a cheap domain for your own personal brand.)

A few certifications require access to paid tools, such as the [HubSpot Marketing Software certification](https://academy.hubspot.com/courses/hubspot-marketing-software). You can still complete all content but won’t get the certificate (see the introductory text to the left).

You can find all certifications here: [https://academy.hubspot.com/certification-overview](https://academy.hubspot.com/certification-overview)

Hope this helps!
