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!
