HubSpot Academy
Boston, Massachusetts, USA
What it is
HubSpot Academy is a free online training service for inbound marketing, sales, and customer service professionals. Its catalog covers marketing, sales, service, software, and business and technical skills, with on-demand training, live workshops, and user groups. A free account gives learners unlimited access to the education library and free software tools, and provides training recommendations tailored to the learner. Some courses include certifications, which require completing lessons and passing an assessment, as well as practical exercises when those are required. For such certifications, each learner must submit and pass their own exercises. Completed certifications can be downloaded, embedded on a website, or added to LinkedIn or Upwork; some are valid for one year and others for two. Academy videos can be watched on a phone, though HubSpot recommends desktop for the optimal experience. The service is available on the web, Android, and iOS. Certification questions can be raised through the HubSpot Community discussion board or HubSpot Support. HubSpot says it was founded in 2006 and is headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
