LinkedIn Learning Costs: How much is it?

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

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?
