37 new certifications and countless insights

On June 18, Zooma paused the usual routines and dedicated the morning to what matters just as much as delivery: development. Certification day was back, and it was a success.

From 8:00 to 12:00, the entire team set aside their regular to-dos to focus on professional growth, knowledge sharing, and getting certified in the tools and topics we use every day. This wasn't just a learning session but a focused investment in sharpening our skills together.

What we achieved in four hours

• 19 Zoomers joined. 

• We achieved a total of 37 HubSpot Academy certifications.

• We now hold 34 out of the 40 available HubSpot certifications.

• Many colleagues revisited and renewed previous certifications, and others tuned in to the recording of our recent GenAI training session, which was delivered during our hybrid customer event earlier this year.

Why did we make time for learning

At Zooma, we often discuss the value of investing in upskilling with customers. But like most teams, we know how challenging it can be to find time for it in a packed schedule. Certification day enables us to demonstrate our commitment by offering uninterrupted time for everyone to concentrate on enhancing their knowledge.

This initiative extends beyond mere compliance. It's part of a broader approach to staying relevant in a fast-changing digital landscape. When we take time to learn as a team, we strengthen individual skills and our shared ability to collaborate, create, and deliver better customer results.

Should you host a Certification day, too?

Yes! And here's why.

Whether you're a team of five or five hundred, dedicating time to professional development has an immense impact. It helps people sharpen their skills, feel more confident in their roles, and bring fresh ideas.

It's not about perfection; it's about progress. A half-day demonstrates the importance of learning and provides time for contemplation, which is often overlooked during hectic workweeks.

So why not plan your certification day?
