Hello, My Name is Asghar VidMate Hussain. I’m an individual TOP Rated Plus professional freelancer on Upwork, offering services as a Digital Markter & VA.
I want to be an expert in HubSpot but I’m confused about the path. I’ll be very thankful to if someone asnwer to the following questions :-
What’s the best sequence to learn courses from HubSpot Academy? (There are too many courses, so I’m confused about the path) Mobdro
Is knowledge of Wordpress/web Development is compulsory to lean all aspects of HubSpot?
How long will it take to learn at intermediate level?
My goal is to learn Sales, Marketing, and Service Hub for my future clients
Hi @MujeebUrahman,
In general I’d recommend to focus on the certifications. These are compilations of smaller courses, usually. Specifically, I’d recommend:
Marketing Software certification: http://academy.hubspot.com/courses/hubspot-marketing-software
Sales Software certification: http://academy.hubspot.com/courses/hubspot-sales-software
Service Hub Software certification: http://academy.hubspot.com/courses/hubspot-service-software
After completing these, you could dive into some of the more advanced certifications:
Reporting certification: https://academy.hubspot.com/courses/hubspot-reporting
Platform Consulting certification: https://academy.hubspot.com/courses/platform-consulting
To better understand the overall HubSpot methodology, I’d highly recommend to also take the Inbound Marketing certification course, even if it’s not entirely tool-related.
For the purpose of helping your clients with sales, marketing and services processes, you don’t need web development knowledge. If you want to be able help your clients with web design, however, then yes. There is a HubSpot CMS for Developers Course in that case:
I would consider all of the above mostly theoretic, even if the certifications will take you through some exercises. Actual HubSpot expertise comes from solving real-world challenges however. How fast you proceed here heavily depends on how much time you spend in the tool, browse the community and apply the theoretical knowledge from the certifications.
Hope this helps!
