Create and share playlists of HubSpot Academy courses with your team. You can add courses and certifications to playlists based on your needs. For example, you can create a playlist to onboard all new hires in a marketing team and train them in digital marketing and using HubSpot's Marketing software. 

Please note: when sharing a playlist with partner-only courses, if the recipient does not have access to a piece of content, the item will be blocked out. There will be a description explaining that the user does not have access to that playlist item.
