HubSpot Solutions Partner Accreditations

To apply for accreditation, your team must first be at the Platinum, Diamond, or Elite tiers. They must also review the coursework and casework requirements before submitting their application.

The deadline provided for each accreditation refers to the first round of the application process. We won’t accept any new applications after the window closes but will continue to process applications that were submitted on-time. All partners who apply by the deadline will receive a final decision within approximately 90 days.

A group of 1-5 people at the partner organization must meet the certification prerequisites. You can divide the prerequisites among this group to meet the requirements, but you cannot include more than five individuals. Here are some examples of how you can split the prereqs among your team:

• Persons 1, 2, and 3 complete the Marketing Hub Implementation certification
• Persons 3, 4, and 5 complete the Sales Hub Implementation certification
• Persons 2, 3, and 5 complete the Marketing Hub Software certification

No. While accreditations and other credentials (tier, certifications) each have their own inherent benefits, like differentiation in the marketplace, becoming accredited doesn’t mean you’ll automatically be included in matching programs. Instead, partners are invited to participate in matching programs on a case-by-case basis.

Partners from any region can apply to become accredited if they meet the requirements. CRM and Onboarding Accreditations accept applications in English, Spanish, and French.

All other accreditations require applications and any supporting documents to be submitted in English.  Further localization is on our roadmap and more information will be provided when available.

The majority of the prerequisite certifications are available in the Academy App in Spanish, French, and German.

Partners who applied but didn’t receive an accreditation may reapply during any application window when the accreditation is offered if they still meet the eligibility requirements.

You must be at the Platinum, Diamond, or Elite tiers to apply for and receive an accreditation. If you downtier below Platinum after receiving the accreditation, your accreditation(s) will be revoked.

The learning path site estimates that it takes approximately 35 hours to complete the prerequisites if you haven’t yet completed any of the certifications prior to applying. If you’ve already completed a certification, you can subtract the total number of hours it took to complete from the estimated 35. Check out the website linked above to learn how many hours each certification is estimated to take.

Please note: Because we ask for artifacts that you should have already produced for customer engagements, we hope that it will take you less time to assemble.

For example, you may only need to tweak an existing project plan or integration doc to include the required data points (size of company, etc.).

The HubSpot Solutions Directory lists all of our solutions partners and providers. It allows customers to search and filter by things, like accreditation, service, country, language, or budget.

No. At this time, solutions providers aren’t eligible to apply or participate in accreditations.

Please note: the HubSpot Solutions Partner Program has two levels: solutions provider and solutions partner.

If a partner fully acquires another partner and becomes a single brand entity, all accreditations will be granted to the acquiring company.

If a partner is only a fiscal partner (acquired but separate entities maintained), then individual partner entities retain their accreditations but none are shared.

Starting in 2024, HubSpot accredited partners will be required to follow standards in order to maintain and renew their accreditation status after its initial grant date. 

These standards include staying at or above the platinum tier, keeping the prerequisite certifications associated with your accreditation active and in good standing, and continuing to deliver high-quality services to clients as profiled by your accreditation. 

Failure to meet these standards may result in a failure to renew and having your accreditation revoked.
