LinkedIn Learning offers 16,000 video courses in business, software, technology, and creative skills, taught by recognized industry experts. Courses are offered in English, French, German, Japanese, Spanish, Mandarin, and Portuguese.
NOTE: When users complete a course using LinkedIn Learning, they have the option to print out a certificate of completion. Currently, user names are not included on these certificates like they were before we migrated from Lynda.com. The change was unexpected for us, so we're hoping LinkedIn Learning will find a solution. Currently however, names cannot be included on certificates offered through LinkedIn Learning for Libraries.
To use our free collection of LinkedIn Learning courses, do not visit LinkedIn Learning directly. Always follow links from bpl.org to access our subscription portal.
