Hi HubSpot Support, It’s been more than 7 days since I completed and submitted my **HubSpot CMS Developer Certification**. I have successfully completed **both the Quiz and the Practicum** and submitted the required URL for the practicum. However, my **certification status/grade has not been updated yet**. Additionally, I’m seeing a notification in my HubSpot account stating that **“HubSpot CMS for Developers II: Best Practices is being retired on July 31, 2026.”** I’m not sure if this notification is related to my certification status. Could you please check the status of my practicum review and let me know if any further action is required from my side? Thank you! ---

My HubSpot account is on the free plan, so I can’t contact HubSpot Support directly—I’m only able to use the Community. Is there any way you could help me with this? ---

It sounds like a review backlog. The retirement notice is likely unrelated if you already submitted everything. Contact HubSpot Support with your submission details to check your practicum status. ---
