LinkedIn Learning Review
Professional development that integrates with your career profile
LinkedIn Learning (formerly Lynda.com) offers 21,000+ courses focused on business, technology, and creative skills. The killer feature: completed courses show up on your LinkedIn profile, signaling skills to recruiters and hiring managers.
Content is professionally produced in-house (not user-generated), so quality is consistently good — never amazing, never terrible. The courses lean practical and professional: Excel, project management, leadership, Python, UX design.
Included with LinkedIn Premium ($29.99/mo) or standalone at $19.99/mo. If you are already paying for Premium, the courses are essentially free.
