I’ve been granted a 14 day trial of Hubspot Pro, and I’m working to complete my Marketing Software Cert within that time.

Do any other certifications or courses require a paid account? So far, I’ve only found Marketing Software.

Thank you.

Hi @amandainomaha,

While certifications are free, the practical exercises which require access to features associated with a paid subscription are what will require access to a higher portal.

@cbsembler do you have any thoughts on how to best use this trial?

Thank you,  
Jenny

Hello @amandainomaha,

You can get certified in Marketing Software as well as the Contextual Marketing Certification with the trial. I would recommend getting the Marketing Software one with the trail and make sure you complete all practical exercises prior to the trial expiring.

Best,

Courtney

Hi Courtney,

Thanks for the workaround. But if the trial is ended, how can I again get that?

With regards,

Rajib
