Hello,
I recently logged back into an old Hubspot account and I have come to the realization that all of my coursework and certifications have disappeared. I took a lot of courses and certifications on this account and I am sure that this is the right email. Is there any way that this can be fixed?
Hi there,
HubSpot Academy certifications/courses have expiration dates. They are usually only valid for 12-13 months. After that, you have to renew the certifications to maintain their active status.
Could you articulate the “Renew” word for me, please? I have the same issues.
Does it mean I have to redo the course from scratch with all the tests?
And can you explain why you follow this procedure considering the amount of time people spend in learning new skills?
Certainly! “Renew” in this scenario for the HubSpot Academy certificates means you need to retake the exam and earn a passing grade. Upon doing so, your certificate will be considered active again with a new expiration date for about a year later. You do NOT have to re-watch all the videos, however it is recommended because the lessons often change over time as the platform evolves.
As I do not work for HubSpot Academy I cannot directly speak to why they follow this procedure for the amount of time the certificates are active for, but it is likely due to how frequently the HubSpot platform changes and how frequently new ideas and strategies emerge in the industry, meaning the lessons are constantly changing.
