    It helped us to demonstrate our capability and expertise as an agency that was certified to deliver HubSpot training. Having this has certainly helped us win business as we can fully demonstrate our expertise and differentiate ourselves during the sales process.

    We did a 6-hour training for a client who was already using HubSpot but was not using it effectively. From there, it turned into an 80K retainer over 12 months and they are still a client with us, and we work with four of their brands now. In addition to that, we have provided training to a variety of organizations, and 100% of those trainings have turned into retainers.

    Having the accreditation was a complete no brainer...it's helped us in the sales process when selling HubSpot retainers. We often find some nervousness with prospective HubSpot customers in that they're investing a considerable amount of money on both the software and the marketing retainers...Letting them know that we are an accredited trainer has definitely swayed the decision in our favour...We have retainers now that were as a result of us delivering courses.

As a HubSpot Certified Trainer, you are responsible for promoting and delivering your own classes, there is not specific amount you have to charge for these classes. In the HubSpot Trainer Certification course, we provide guidelines for pricing, but you will need to be the ultimate decision maker on what to charge your attendees. Your company will keep all the revenue that you make from training.

    Once you've completed the HubSpot Trainer Certification course and become an official HubSpot Certified Trainer, you will have access to the exclusive HubSpot Certified Trainer resource center. This resource center will include things like:

    • HubSpot Academy created trainings (slide decks and workshop materials that HubSpot Academy has tested out and had positive results)
    • Templates
    • Checklists

    Nope, you don't have to use any of the pre-made training decks. We've included these in your resource center to help you get started. Feel free to use these resources as inspiration and to create your own training content based on your audience and learning objectives. In the HubSpot Trainer Certification course, we provide insight into how to create training to meet your student's learning goals.
