i’ll also mention this. i think having non open book tests is garbage. we live in the internet age. learning how to find the answer to something you don’t know is a very valuable skill. ask any programmer. More on reddit.com

As an agency owner - if someone came to me looking to get a job and said, listen, I don't have experience in digital marketing, but I took all the Hubspot classes, here's the certification. Also, I did the online classes for Google Ads and Analytics, here are those certifications. And I did the Hootsuite one last week as well. I'm eager to learn and apply what I've learned already to real life work. Well, I'd be more impressed by that than someone saying that they are a "guru" or some other fictitious term. I say take the courses, and if you don't have something you can apply it to directly, make it up. Find a product or service you are passionate about, and build a mock campaign for it with everything you learn. Show that to a potential employer and you will impress them enough to land you a job.

In my opinion, it won't help you find a job, mainly because of how easy it is to get certified.

For example: I have a year and a half of college level marketing education (Canadian), and I was able to pass the 60 question inbound test with ease, without watching any of their course content videos.

But on the other hand, I recommend it to anyone who is considering a career in marketing, because it does an amazing job explaining all the big picture digital marketing concepts.
