Certificates can be downloaded or even shared on a LinkedIn post which lets your connections enjoy access to your course. Pros There is a very broad range of courses available. I have found some great people to follow on LinkedIn and signed up for newsletters etc. New corses are added regularly and older ones can be updated. Cons The cost is high but if you use it a lot if is worthwhile. Some courses are lower quality and self promote the people who created the courses. However you can just stop watching them. Review Source MK Mouloukou K. Account executive Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good for a quick intro or refresher but for depth, look elsewhere " July 17, 2025 4.0 Pros Short courses that are to the point and engaging regardless of you prior knowledge on the topic. Also many topics, especially business Related. Cons Some courses are super basic with no or very limited assessment. As a result, the certification are easy to obtain. This does make the certification less valuable compared to those from platforms like Coursera or EdX Switched from [Udemy Business](https://www.capterra.com/p/209689/Udemy-for-Business/) The courses on Udemy felt of lower quality or even funnels to other courses. I did not enjoy that at all. Review Source Luke H. Learning and Development Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Not Bad, But Could be Better " August 24, 2026 3.0 Pretty positive. However for the cost, we would have needed better controls in place and a more curated system for the content. Pros The various offerings are incredible and you can offer a lot of paths for your team, so a real positive for the money. Cons There is a little too much, and the quality control isn't always there. They could do a much better job of pulling down content that is no longer relevant. Review Source Furkan A. Founder Design Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A reliable platform for continuous professional development" August 14, 2026 5.0 My overall experience has been very positive. I use LinkedIn Learning as a practical resource for continuous professional development and for keeping my knowledge current across design, product, business, and technology topics. The platform is easy to navigate, recommendations are generally relevant, and the ability to learn in shorter sessions makes it particularly useful alongside day-to-day client work. It has become one of the platforms I can quickly turn to when I want either a structured introduction to a new subject or a refresher on an existing skill. Pros I like how easy LinkedIn Learning makes it to fit professional development into a busy work schedule. The courses are generally well structured, clearly presented, and divided into manageable sections, so I can either complete a full learning path or quickly focus on a specific topic when I need it. I especially find it useful for UX, product thinking, project management, leadership, and software-related skills. The integration with the broader LinkedIn ecosystem also makes the experience feel more connected to professional growth. Cons The main limitation for me is that the depth of the courses can vary. Many courses are excellent for building a solid understanding of a topic, but for highly technical or specialized subjects I sometimes need additional resources or more hands-on training. I would also like to see more advanced project-based content where learners can work through realistic business scenarios from beginning to end. Review Source BK Blerta K. Language Instructor Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Language excellence with LinkedIn Learning." May 18, 2026 4.0 As a small language school like ours, it is a good supplemental material. My students like having additional materials, but I wish the site had more interactive activities. The monthly fee per user is reasonable, and we only want to use it when the students are actively using it in conjunction with our regular curriculum. Pros The language courses really dovetail into what I am teaching in class. The videos are available to practice between lessons. Some great teaching methodology courses were also found, helped me to organize my intermediate group in Swedish better. The certificates motivate my adult learners, they share them on their profiles. Cons Course search isn't great when looking for specific language levels. There is some dated content, particularly the 2018 Business language modules. Prefers printable resources to be used in the classroom. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Lead Geomechanics Specialist Oil & Energy Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Learning when I have the time for it" September 26, 2026 4.0 I have found LinkedIn Learning useful for developing new skills and refreshing knowledge when needed. The ability to choose individual topics and progress through a course at my own pace works well for me. Pros LinkedIn Learning has a broad selection of courses covering technical skills, software, business topics, and professional development. I like that many courses are divided into relatively short sections, which makes it easier to learn at my own pace rather than committing to long sessions. Cons Course quality and depth can vary depending on the instructor and topic. Some courses provide a good introduction but do not go deep enough when you already have experience with the subject. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer IT Systems Analyst Information Technology and Services Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "How some people have premium LinkedIn account and don't use the learning platform?" May 11, 2026 3.0 Started using LinkedIn learning when LinkedIn offered me a trial for a month and then I watched some content over there regarding software development and C# lessons. Pros The one thing that stands on a right way about LinkedIn learning is too the quantity of courses that they offer and quality. Cons The fact that you have to purchase a premium account on a LinkedIn to access the full content is the only thing that bothers me. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Proprietor Music Used the software for: 2+ years ### "One of the better places to find professional development opportunities" January 2, 2026 4.0 I've found LinkedIn Learning to be a reliable source for professional development material as well as being a great source of refresher material. Pros The resources provided within the LinkedIn Learning platform are good value for the price you pay for access. The user interface is easy to navigate due to the site's intuitive content layout and page design. Features such as learning grouping for your own collated lesson plans is an added bonus. Cons Some of the lessons are slightly dated (which is easy to do in the digital realm where content changes so frequently). Review Source PP Prachi P. Senior Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Convenient learning platform for multiple tech & functional topics" January 7, 2026 5.0 Useful learning platform with varying degrees of rigour on a myriad of topics both functional and technical. Pros Several courses with varying degree of rigour. Very useful to get a quick handle on topics or invest further time as one would like. Cons Some basic access should be available even to users without LinkedIn Premium. It would help increase interest and check relevance before fully committing to it. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Marketing Specialist Environmental Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great for self improvement" August 15, 2026 5.0 Pros What I liked most about LinkedIn Learning is its extensive knowledge base that is widely open to users. Cons I don't have anything negative to say about to LinkedIn Learning - it has been a great tool to expand skills and add them to your profile on LinkedIn. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Software Quality Assurance Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "One of LinkedIn's best functionality for self-development" October 20, 2022 5.0 \- LinkedIn Learning is a wonderful platform for learning and self development. If you have the opportunity to have a premium subscription in LinkedIn, then should take advantage of this learning platform. This is a best way to boost your LinkedIn profile and skillsets as well! Pros \- LinkedIn Learning has so many online courses and topic to offer. You can watch all of them if you are subscribed to LinkedIn Premium, and some are accessible also even if you are using the free version of LinkedIn.- Learning module is accessible via website and it also has an independent app in Play Store or App Store.- Courses can be watched on the go, and you can even see your progress- After finishing a course, you can have a certificate which you can show in your profile Cons \- The only problem I dislike about LinkedIn Learning is that, if you finish a course, and suddenly you are not having a premium subscription, that finished course is already inaccessible even if you have finished it before Switched from [Pluralsight](https://www.capterra.com/p/192120/Pluralsight/) \- Unlike Pluralsight, LinkedIn Learning is already integrated to its own social media platform, LinkedIn, which I mostly use for networking and job-hunting. When you subscribe to LinkedIn Premium, you already have a full access to its learning module so there are so much to do when you pay for them.- Also, what I really love the most about LinkedIn Learning is that, they also offer free courses that you can access even if you are not subscribed to LinkedIn Premium. This feature is, unfortunately, unavailable in Pluralsight. Review Source AC Abin C. Banking Specialist Banking Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Best learning platform" June 29, 2023 5.0 The overall experience with using LinkedIn Learning is best. I have the facility to add all the completed courses to my LinkedIn account at ones and make it known to all my potential employers know what I have completed and what I know. One other I like is that LinkedIn learning has almost all the courses that we ever want to succeed in a specific role in an industry. So we have one single platform for everything. Pros The most feature that I liked is the option to find all types of courses that relevant to specific industry and having a learning path pre set with all the courses for those who wants to study relevant to an industry specific role. I use the learning path and it has all the courses in it (like a playlist) to learn and practice for the specific designation selected to pursue. Cons Based on my current experience with LinkedIn learning I have had only good experience and I don’t see anything that’s seems to be least factor. Although, I could say on some courses they have a video showing questions/challenge and then one other set of video as answers, the only issue here is that we have to play all the videos to complete the module and we cannot skip nor fast forward to complete the module. Beside that it’s all well laid out courses and the platform for professional career growth. Switched from [Udemy Business](https://www.capterra.com/p/209689/Udemy-for-Business/) The reason for the switch is to use the ability to add completed courses to the profile and the courses in LinkedIn are almost all validated by many employers. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Research Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Short Videos but Expensive" July 10, 2026 4.0 I personally like using Linkedin Learning when I am learning a new topic and when I have already purchased LinkedIn Premium. Pros LinkedIn Learning offer important courses in a short and concise way. It is not only easy to understand but also time saving. Cons The pricing of LinkedIn learning is too high. Furthermore, the certifications from linkedin offer little value in the job market. Switched from [edX](https://www.capterra.com/p/230243/edX/) The shorter length of the courses made it much easier for me to learn a new skill consistently. Review Source TM Terry M. Senior Analyst Mining & Metals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "longer section would provide better coherence" May 3, 2025 4.0 Pros the variety of courses is the biggest attraction, it covers from management to even daily meditation Cons the course is broken down into very small sections, like 5 minute per interval. I would prefer a longer section such as 30 minute which is better for coherence Review Source AP Aakash P. Accessibility Consultant Information Technology and Services Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Good high quality content" May 4, 2025 5.0 Pros A great selection of courses is available on LinkedIn Learning, with a wide variety for whatever topic or subject you want to upskill on or learn about. The selective selection process for what courses can be hosted on their platform makes sure that only high quality content is available Cons It's packaged with LinkedIn Premium which has its benefits but it would be nice if LinkedIn Learning was available as a separate package for a cheaper price Review Source CK Craig K. Dir of Culture and Leadership Business Supplies and Equipment Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Disappointed" February 12, 2025 4.0 Disappointed. ROI was not there. When we tried to reconstruct our contract...lots of strong sales pressure with no solutions. Pros Library of content was great. Ease of use. Cons Cost and restrictions on license us. Impersonal service. Alternatives considered [Coursera for Business](https://www.capterra.com/p/238710/Coursera-for-Business/)[Docebo](https://www.capterra.com/p/127213/Docebo/) Reason for choosing LinkedIn Learning Works well with our HRIS system, Workday.

Cons There was not anything I disliked about LinkedIn Learning. Review Source MP Marissa P. Quality Engineer II Medical Devices Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great tool to get some extra learning in!" December 3, 2024 5.0 Great tool to get some extra learning in! So many offerings to meet what you are looking to improve upon. Pros There are so many options for different subjects to help learn and you can see how long the course will take. Cons Sometimes the courses are not what I expect and are a bit boring. Review Source AT Aniruddha T. Operations Support Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Professional & Personal Upskilling Remotely At Your Own Pace " September 30, 2024 5.0 Talk about professional development on this platform and it has been great. A very convenient and easy way to upskill personally and professionally, no matter age group, industry type, or what business unit you come from. Pros This is an all time great tool in my opinion as it is nothing short of a library to learn new skills, courses and so much more. We have all our teams use it and we love seeing how people become more proficient in their as well as other industries to stay updated with the market trends. Cons The only drawback I feel is about not having much credibility of these courses. It would be great to see if LinkedIn can instill or collaborate with accredited institutions (PMP, SSGI, etc) to have their certifications available here & provide certifications from under just one Umbrella (LinkedIn learning) Review Source AA Abdullah A. Structural Engineer Civil Engineering Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "LinkedIn Learning Review" November 6, 2024 5.0 Pros It's a very nice tool to learn and access courses Cons I used Linked in for a long time and i had no problems. Review Source RG Rafael G. analyst Banking Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Give it a try" October 7, 2024 5.0 In truth, any online platform that manages to hold their student and get them from start to finish has already done a good job, and I feel that Linkedin Learning manages to do that and provide perks on top of it. Pros It's platform allows you to double check what attributes your ideal employer is looking for and email for either small smart goals, or long term ones. The system also personalise recommendations to what you want to achieve, so it helps shape your learning into what you want. Cons I personally felt like there are not many hands-on practice. For instance, with coding challenges, solving real-world challenges and getting feedback seems like a must, specially for someone looking to learn new skills to change fields.
