HubSpot Academy is very excited to announce a revamped Agency Partner Certification course is now LIVE in the Learning Center and available as a track for all HubSpot partners!
What is the Agency Partner Certification?
This certification course teaches HubSpot agency partners how to strategically market their agency, sell more inbound retainers, deliver remarkable services, and how to grow their agency with HubSpot. Achieving the Agency Partner Certification is one of the requirements for becoming a tiered partner within the program.
How does this affect me if I’m already certified?
It doesn’t — until it’s time to recertify. For agencies who have already achieved the certification, your current certification is still valid. You’re just now tasked with taking the new certification course when you approach your certification’s expiration date.
Why update the existing certification?
The process of updating this certification course was motivated by the data, research, and direct feedback from the certified partner community. The plan was to amplify the content that resonates, identify opportunities for improvement, and mirror the certification course with the updated processes within the partner program.
What's covered in the course?
The Agency Partner Certification now features a slimmed-down track of 11 lessons, 4 hours and 45 minutes of video content, 4 partner interviews, a real demo from a CAM, and a 65-question exam.
