Thanks,:wink: Jorie, I enjoyed your course!

VERY USEFUL!

This has been a great course. Do I have to wait for the buyer persona as well as the other exercises to get graded before I take the exam?
Thank you in advance for your time.

Hi @JRazo ,

You can start the exam at any point. Once you pass both the exam and all the practical exercise, then you’ll receive your certification.

Thanks!

Thank you so much! The course was very helpful.

The content was not only good to understand the navigation around HubSpot but also addressed the basics of inbound marketing. Great stuff.

Hi Jorie,

What an awesome course! I submitted the buyer persona exercise, but how do I know that the other exercises are being graded. Do I just complete them in my HubSpot account or is there a button I had to click like I had to for the buyer persona exercise in HubSpot Academy?

I am facing the same issue. I have passed my exam but my buyer persona exercise is pending review so I can’t get my certificate :disappointed_face:

Hi @MBedi !

The buyer persona practical exercise has a 5-7 day SLA. That said, we typically try to clear the queue every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. So if you’re buyer persona was submitted and hasn’t been graded yet, it should be soon. :grin:

Thanks so much for the clarification Jorie. Appreciate it.

Hi @MGadola,

Good question! To complete each of the other practical exercises (besides buyer persona), you’ll need to click “Start exercise” in the Academy App. This will trigger the HubSpot backend to start checking that you’ve completed the exercise within 24 hours.

You won’t need to click “Submit” like you would for buyer personas, which are put in a queue to be manually graded by our professors!

Got a good overview and hoping the actual execution will be as straightforward as the overview.

Very interesting, I learned a lot!

Hi Jorie,

I hope all is well.

So far i am enjoying the course.

I ran into an issue and was woundering if you can help me.

Under the “Understanding blogging in Hubspot” module there is a practical exercise to create a blog post. I have done this but when looking into the optimize section i get this message “A single H1 tag makes it easier for search engines and readers to understand your content. Your page has 2 H1 tag(s)”. I have gone into each section of the blog, clicked advanceed and source code, and i dont see 2 H1 tags.

Please help me undertand if i am doing something worng.

Thanks,
