Matthew Kefford, Writer at BusinessBecause observes, LinkedIn Learning offers more than 16,000 online courses in business and technology taught by industry experts. But is LinkedIn Learning worth it?
LinkedIn Learning offers e-learners a platform to access thousands of different programs and certifications, many focused on business and technology. But how much can you actually learn via LinkedIn Learning courses and, with many competing education providers, is LinkedIn Learning worth it?
LinkedIn Learning | Key benefitsLike all online education programs, LinkedIn Learning courses offer users flexibility that you wouldn’t get with traditional education.
Users can learn on the go via the app on their phone or tablet, or they can complete courses on their computer. Each course is also split into modules made up of short videos—often less than five minutes long—making it easier to work through content.
Delivering content via video makes for an easy learning experience, particularly popular among younger users. Studies show ‘Gen Z’ learners (those born between the mid 1990s and 2010s) increased their consumption of video learning content by 50% from 2019 to 2020.
There are currently more than 16,000 courses available on the platform, in more than seven languages, and LinkedIn says it adds more than 50 courses each week...
“LinkedIn Learning enables students to demonstrate continuous learning
and a growth mindset, although it is more likely to serve students well
in conversation with employers or during networking, rather than as a
line on their CV,” says Lisa Umenyiora (pictured), executive director of careers and student life at Imperial College Business School.
