Hi @murthy1981,

Thanks for reaching out! The education for the marketing software is free. However, to go through, if you want to become fully certified there are a few required exercises that use paid features with Pro or Enterprise subscription of HubSpot. I would recommend signing up for a marketing pro trial to complete the exercises so that you can receive the certification.

Best,

Cristina

I agree…this is kind of frustrating. I went through the entire training and earned a qualifying score but could not get the certification because of the account setup. As former Hubspot users looking to renew these educational components, it would be nice if these were not a part of the certification process or were incorporated in the test itself.
