HubSpot Marketing Software Certification

Hi again, I’ve noticed that during the HubSpot Marketing Software Certification many of the practical exercises require upgrading my account not only to Marketing Starter Plan which is 100$ per month, but even to the Basic Plan for 200$ monthly with an annual commitement in order to do the Social Media exersise and Content exersise. Which I don’t think I am capable to do, since I don’t use hubspot for any business at the current time, but I do want to get certified since many companies use it nowadays and it will enhance my skills.

Therefore, could I still do the final certification text in the end of the course without doing the practical exersises???

I did finish the Inbound Certificate which didn’t include any practical exersises and passed the final exam. So can’t I do that with the HubSpot Marketing Software Certification as well??

Hi @mohammadhazemar

When it was originally conceived the Marketing Software Certification was certainly pitched as an advanced, hands-on course to bring users up to speed with the paid product. HubSpot’s product strategy has changed a lot since then, but this certification is still pitched at Basic+ users. Until HubSpot changes that, I don’t think you are going to be able to proceed and I recommend you move on to other certs.

As soon as you get access to a Basic or higher platform, I’m sure you’ll be able to complete the Marketing Software Cert with no trouble.

Best of luck.
