Connecting and disconnecting LinkedIn and LinkedIn Learning

You have the option to connect your personal LinkedIn profile to your Linkedin Learning account. While it is not required, a connected LinkedIn profile can provide a more personalized learning experience that inclues special course recommendations for you based on job title, skills and industry. You can also post course completions and certifications from LinkedIn Learning to your profile.

If you choose not to connect your LinkedIn profile, you can create a separate LinkedIn Learning account that is not connected to LinkedIn.com. If you chose to sign up for LinkedIn Learning without connecting it to your LinkedIn account, you can do so any time after activation.
