Hi @Burc
Thanks for reaching out here! The good news is HubSpot doesn’t check the company name or URL, so you can enter a placeholder when creating a free account. You shouldn’t need a real site to earn your Inbound Sales certification.
Heres and existing thread that should hopefully point you in the right direction!!
The Academy certification FAQ in the Knowledge Base also confirms you can enter any company and URL: Academy certifications | Frequently Asked Questions
Hope this helps!
