LinkedIn Learning

What is LinkedIn Learning?

LinkedIn Learning is a library of professional video courses on business, software tools and creative skills, connected to your LinkedIn profile. Do not wait for Black Friday: we found no official Black Friday deal in 2025. The usual entry offer is a one-month free trial.

That free month is the smart way to use it. Pick one or two specific courses, finish them in the trial, and cancel if you do not need more. Many employers, universities and public libraries also provide LinkedIn Learning free, so check that before paying anything.

Where it fits

Courses on Excel, project management, Adobe apps and soft skills are solid and well produced. Certificates can be added to your LinkedIn profile, which is a minor plus for job seekers. It is less useful for deep technical skills, where hands-on platforms do better.

Who should skip it

Anyone who will not finish a course in the trial and then forgets to cancel. Coders wanting interactive practice. People looking for a big Black Friday cut, since that does not seem to happen here.
