Once you’ve completed your HubSpot course, you should receive an email with your certification badge. Alternatively, you can log into your HubSpot account, navigate to the “Academy” section, and then to “My Learning”. Here, you will find your earned certifications and associated badges.
Step 2: Adding the Certification to LinkedIn
Now, it’s time to add this credential to your LinkedIn profile. Here’s how:
- Log into your LinkedIn account and navigate to your profile.

- Click on the “+” sign to add a new certification.
- In the “Certification Name” field, enter the name of the certification as it appears on your HubSpot badge.
