Why HubSpot Academy Now Comes with Free Tools

Users of free HubSpot Academy accounts can now apply what they learn with free marketing and sales tools.

As the in-demand skills of marketers and sales people evolve, we recognize the need for our users to extend and amplify their technical abilities using software.

In working with higher education institutions, it's clear that marketing and sales roles have dramatically changed, requiring the hands-on application of software to reach their business and professional goals.

Here at HubSpot Academy, our goal is to educate and inspire our users to become world-class marketing and sales professionals.

That's why we've merged all of the free marketing and sales tools offered by HubSpot into the HubSpot Academy accounts of hundreds of thousands of people.

The following free tools are now available to HubSpot Academy users.

Free Tools for Marketers
