On 27 October, we had our second annual certification day - a day when all Zoomers were booked for a full day to focus on learning and development without any meetings or other bookings to distract us.
Once again, everything went great. Over the day:
- 26 Zoomers spent time expanding their online and digital knowledge.
- Each of us focused on training for six hours, from 9:00 to 16:00 (with an hour for lunch) - a total of 156 hours, or over 19 working days.
- Collectively, we managed to claim 86 new certifications in the HubSpot Academy - plus a few more in LinkedIn and Google's educational platforms. That's an improvement on last year's 58 certifications, although many of this year's achievements were renewals of courses we've previously taken.
Particular hits this year were HubSpot's growth-driven design and content marketing certifications. You can see all the certifications we have on our page on HubSpot's Agency Directory. In total, we have 34 of the 40 certifications that HubSpot offers.
Many companies would like their teams to get more inspiration and guidance in their daily work, but this is hard to achieve when education and training have to be squeezed between everything else. We've had this problem in the past, so we started booking everyone for a yearly day of learning. If your company has a similar challenge, try scheduling a certification day and discover the results yourself.
