LinkedIn Learning

LinkedIn Learning is an online learning platform which allows you the opportunity to learn something new when you want to learn it. 

You can choose to learn something by following a full course or “playlist” or you can simply select specific content to learn. With the app, you can download content and learn on the go. Courses often come with extra resources in order to help you continue your learning.

If you do not yet have access to LinkedIn Learning, please request via the Training Catalogue.
