Do I need a LinkedIn profile to use LinkedIn Learning?
You can use LinkedIn Learning without having a LinkedIn (networking) profile, but there are several benefits of having a LinkedIn profile, such as being able to add certificates/badges to your profile when you complete courses.
How long are the courses?
The length of courses varies but on average most courses last for around an hour. You can pause and come back to it at any time. Every course is made up of smaller video components (usually 3-5 minutes each) – sometimes you don’t need a whole course; a couple of quick videos might help you with what you need.
How can I access LinkedIn Learning?

- If you do connect your LinkedIn profile (see above) then you will also need to be logged into LinkedIn
