Linkedin Learning is one of the leading online learning platforms, an online community which merged Lynda.com with LinkedIn and then migrated into LinkedIn Learning in 2017. This learning community offers a wide range of courses in Business, Technology and Creative subjects. It is currently offering 17,000+ courses taught by industry experts and has a growing community of 700+ million users.

Some of the questions that may come to mind when considering its cost are; How much is LinkedIn Learning? Do they have monthly subscriptions? Does LinkedIn Learning offer free courses? If it’s not for me, can I get a refund?

Let’s dive straight in to help clarify some of these questions in this comprehensive LinkedIn Learning pricing guide.

LinkedIn Learning Costs: An Overview

LinkedIn Learning offers a few options for paying for its courses. You can pay for an individual course with pricing varying from $20 to $50 (including VAT) or alternatively sign up for a monthly subscription at $39.99 a month or an annual plan at $323.88 working out at $26.99 a month.

As well as individual plans, it offers pricing plans for teams or entire organizations which are personalized. Prices for this aren’t disclosed, so you would need to contact them to discuss.

Is LinkedIn Learning Free?

Sadly, LinkedIn Learning doesn’t offer any free courses, but they do offer a 1-month free trial which will give you full access to all its 17,000+ expert-led courses and other resources.

All you will need to do is register and add your card details. You won’t be charged for the subscription if you cancel at least a day prior to the end of that first month.

It’s a pretty good way to get a taste of the LinkedIn Learning platform right?

  • Monthly: You will pay a monthly subscription of $39.99/month

Buying Individual LinkedIn Learning Courses

If signing up for a subscription isn’t for you, then no worries as LinkedIn Learning has the option to Buy this course (see image below). If you know which specific course you are wanting to study with, then this could be the right option for you.

There are currently around 5,000 learning courses available to purchase individually. They are looking to expand this and the goal is to make the whole of the Learning library available for individual purchases in the future.

LinkedIn Learning Costs: Last Thoughts

Ok, let’s conclude the LinkedIn Learning pricing guide;

  1. It has reasonable pricing plans
  2. Variety of options from individual courses, subscription plans to team plans

This well established platform focuses on improving skills in Business, Technology and Creative topics. It offers individual courses or signing up for a monthly or annual subscription. If you choose the annual subscription, you will be saving 33% over the full year.

The 1-month free trial is ideal for you to try out the platform, after which you can then decide to cancel before the 1-month ends, and you won’t have to pay anything.

If individual learning isn’t what you are looking for, then you have the personalized online learning for your entire team or company. The price of this plan is customized, and it is best to request a consultation to find out more.

Hello. I forgot that I subscribed for the one-month free trial. I was charged $239.98! Was that the correct price? I don’t remember subscribing for a one-payment annual fee! Even though the free month ended, is there any way I can get a refund?

Hello Catherine, I am a regular LinkedIn user, cancelled my premium around 3 m ago. Can you enlighten me, is LinkedIn learning part of the LinkedIn premium subscription? If I reinstate LinkedIn Premium @ $29.99 pm will I then have total access to LinkedIn learning without having to pay $24.99 pmonth for a year or 39.99 per month or will I pay 29.99 for premium and 24.99 for Learning?If I choose not to reinstate LIpremium subscription can I open LI learning subscription monthly or yearly just having regular LInkedIn set up or purchase courses independently?
Thank you

Hello Catherine,

Looks like the price has changed. The annual subscription (after the free 30 days) is now $24.99 x 12 ($299.88 billed annually) but the monthly charge is now $39.99/mo if you don’t want to pay for the entire year. So basically you must pay around $40/mo unless you want to spend $300 and get billed every year regardless of how much you are using it.

Looking for more information I found yours. Thank you very much.
I just wonder: If I suscribe for LinkedIn Learning, does it means that I will have LinkedIn Premium too? Because I’m looking for that information, but haven’t found it yet.

Someone told me that suscribing to LinkedIn Premium would give me access to Learning (I know I’m asking backwards), but I’m not sure. Would you happen to know that?

Thank you in advance.
