Expired Certificates - Does it Matter?

My Hubsot certifications have all expired. What does that mean exactly? What are the benefits of constantly renewing them or the cost of not renewing them? Is there a simple way to renew them once they’ve already expired?

Thanks!

Hi @jaffeworld and welcome, we are delighted to have you here! :orange_heart:

When a certification expires, it simply means it’s no longer valid. Most certifications are valid for one or two years, and you can easily renew them by retaking the required courses and passing the exam in HubSpot Academy.

Renewing keeps your certification active and up-to-date, and since our certifications are free, there’s no cost to renew. Just keep in mind that expired certifications won’t count as current or transfer if you change your email.

To renew an expired certification, just go to HubSpot Academy, find your certification under “My Learning > Certifications,” and complete any necessary coursework and exams. Once you pass, your certification will be valid again!

Here are some resources for you if you want to read more about it:
