Hi, I've started taking the HubSpot CMS for Marketers certification course, but am slightly confused about a couple of things. 1. Do I need to sign up for a sandbox account to complete the certification? 2. I clicked on "Enroll" - is there anything else that needs to be done to sign up? The class isn't showing up in the "In Progress" list in "My Learning", though I have gone through a number of the videos. 3. I went through maybe a quarter of the videos and came to the first certification exercise. I started it and closed it down, intending to come back the next day. When I did, however, it said that I had passed the exercise. I never submitted anything. Should this have been done in the sandbox to gain proper credit? I'd really appreciate any help you can give me. I'm more than a little confused at the moment. 🙂 Thanks and have a great day, Amy Jones Coordinator, Marketing & Sales Medexus Pharma

1. Do I need to sign up for a sandbox account to complete the certification?
No, but you have the option to if you don't want to complete any of the exercises in your portal if you have the correct subscription 2.

No, there shouldn't be another step to enroll. Can you search for the course or filter to only certifications? 3.

Not necessarily, you can do this in a sandbox or your regular portal. As long as it is done with the same email it will count towards the same course.
Hi Anissa, I also experienced getting a pass to my exercises I did not mark as complete, should I be concermed of that? Do you grade work no matter it's submitted or not?
I had another problem with doing exercise for "Optimize Your Website For Search Engines", the instruction asks me to go to Marketing > Website > SEO, but I can only see Website Pages and Blog in there, SEO is not available. do I need to upgrade my free accoount in order to finish my certification? Appreciate your help in advance!
